DC or ac application of a fuse in the world of audio means it is subject to having signal modulated though it, in almost every single case of use. Except that of lets say a DC output power supply into another dc circuit. Minimized flow changes.... but there may still be some residual modulation in the throughput of the given fuse, if it is hooked up to a circuit which modulates draw..as... Audio = inconstant dynamic ac signal.+1
Reducing intermodulation is indeed the name of the game. If employing fuses in DC circuits, local bypass capacitance is always a sound design practice.
We don't employ any fuses in the DC circuits of our equipment. They are all on the AC primaries of the power transformers involved. In most of our amplifiers there are three power transformers per channel. They are there to help reduce intermodulations that can otherwise occur in the circuit.
