Where has been your most effective placement for an aftermarket fuse?

Not looking for a debate with anybody on whether aftermarket fuses work or not, this thread is for those fortunate members with the hearing to know that they do indeed work.
I am very interested in your thoughts and opinions as to where they work the best, the biggest bang for your buck if you like.
For myself I am going to say it is in my Metrum Onyx DAC.
And not just my present DAC, all of my last 3 DAC,s showed a very nice easily audible improvement with an aftermarket fuse.
Next I would say is in my Gold Note phono stage and lastly in my BAT integrated amp.

So what or where would you say has been the most noticeable piece of equipment that has benefited from a fuse change in your system?

To my ears, the biggest improvement I’ve heard on my source components...streamer and CD players. The preamp and amp fuse swap resulted in very subtle improvement.

I have tested Furutech, SR Black, Hi-Fi Supreme Supreme Au/Ag and Cu. I end up preferring the HiFi Tuning Supreme Cu‘s in digital components as they slightly pushed the sound towards organic and warmer presentation.

The description for Audio Magic Beeswax fuse says it all,

This fuse will give you tighter bass and yet sound relaxed - very natural sounding. The sound stage will become bigger and deeper, more detailed, better layering, better micro detail but with a relaxed musical presentation. For people that have to have the best this is it!

Looks like they took a page out of millercarbon tales....the mighty upgrade that is as good as upgrading a power cord or component 😊
