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?

roberjerman, fuses can have a dramatic affect on sound quality.  i just recently replace the fuse in my Parasound Halo Integrated, and it made more difference than any upgrade to my system in fifty years.  To think they can't improve (or sometimes degrade sound?) is to be blind and naive. Because of the improvement I heard, I replaced the fuse in my Cocktail Audio X45 Pro.  Although not as dramatic of an improvement, it still was very noticeable.
