What an interesting amp design from a real audio personality in Bob Carver. I will leave all the engineering to Al. This circuit is way more complicated than my thankfully simple SET amp circuits.
Being you have an older amp , Al gives very good advice in cleaning the fuse holders, power cord inlet, speaker ouputs and interconnect inputs. A good "spring cleaning" can be sonically very rewarding.
It sounds like the SR Black line of products are improving detail to a point that is not ideal for your system. That is my emotional response to my son's new 4K TV compared to my Panasonic Plasma TV. Too much detail that for me is distracting. He loves the added detail.
The Isoclean fuse in my experience has a warmer, less detailed sound than the SR Black. Perhaps this or fuse or other fuses that have gold in them would give you warmth but with less grain than the stock fuse.
You may want to try one of the fuses offered by Music Direct. They are a fine company that has always honored their return policy.
Before ordering fuses from VH Audio or Parts Connexion be sure they accept fuses returns.
Audio Magic fuses are not normally returnable for a cash refund. At best one may be allowed store credit towards a future purchase.
When buying any product make sure to understand exactly what the terms of return are.
Audio system enhancement and audio listening should be a rewarding and fun endeavor. I plan on having a very fun and rewarding session latter today.
