Hi Fi Tuning Supreme fuse-Burn In?

Hello,
I've gone through the Hi Fi Tuning line of fuses starting with their Silver and then on to the Classic Gold.
I recently purchased the the Supreme.
The Supreme does everything I hoped it would but as with anything in this crazy hobby, there's seems to be a trade-off.
I'm getting more clarity and air but the presentation seems to have an edge or sharpness to it.
If everything was just slightly more-should I say organic?-I'd be one happy man.
I have about 60 hours on them.
Will more time smooth things out?
The Gold's are definitely smoother but they lack the air and clarity the Supreme's provide.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

@rodman99999  btw: I’ve had HI-FI Tuning’s fuses(Gold and now Supremes) in my Cary monoblocks’ mains and B+ circuits, for over 12 years, without a problem. That’s not counting when the occasional tube took a crap and the fuse did it’s job. Then again, that’s just my own(one person’s) experience, and- why should you take my word?.


It matters where the fuse is in the circuit. Please tell us where it is located, its rating and what it is breaking? Are you sure its in the DC HV path?

@audioman58  Take a look here fellow Audiophiles here is the resistance index as I stated
Silver and Copper top conductor ,look where zinc -steel is located on the chart this is your fuse conductor element.


I do not know of any fuses that use steel as an element. Do you?

Just to let everyone know, HI FI Tuning fuses cannot be used as tube fuses or in any DC application. They have very low breaking capacity and will and have damaged eqiupment. 

Their claims would make no sense and are an instult to a logical person. They put the wire in a teflon tube to reduce microphonics. If you can believe that then go right ahead.
