What are fuses used for?


I have, I’m sure to many, a very dumb question. I keep reading about fuses.  I have a fairly sophisticated system and have never come across the need for a fuse.
Can someone tell me where these fuses go and what they’re used for?

After trying a few different brands of fuses I heard amazing differences between them all. I thought people would like to hear what I experienced, then I read the thread on fuses and realized I was wrong.
Oh. I should have said that I really don't care what other people think about that. It matters what I think when I am listening to my system. Good thing too because it would be weird if I had to ask what somebody else heard, while I am listening to my system, to enjoy my system.
