I just want to weigh in. Clearly, everything - totally everything -- degrades sound It starts at X and goes downhill Maybe a little, maybe a lot. Fact.
Now, i avoided fuses for ages. They were a needless distortion. And by definition a poor wire (just look at most of them, i have no idea about blue fuses). but here's what i have learned over the past several years, when i NEEDED fuses,a a designer who put dicey prototype equipment in very expensive and revealing system.
They are a pretty modest distortion. Hate to say it, but ditto the wires that i run from my in-series fuse box ( that can portably protect anything). Is no fuse better? Probably. definitely in theory. But does it matter nearly as much as 100 things I can do to improve sound from cleaning contacts to tightening connections to providing cleaner AC power? Not eve close. So worry about the big stuff, and dont fret the small stuff. And fuses just might save you from doing $1000s of damage.
really - its vastly smaller than you may think.
I will consider ceramic fuses (good suggestions whoever made it) which are known to be better in most ways. But then, i cant get 5 more at the home depot....
Juts for the record, if i cannot repeatably hear it and have another listener corroborate it, i dismiss any result.
