Hi Fi Tuning Supreme fuse-Burn In?

Hello,
I've gone through the Hi Fi Tuning line of fuses starting with their Silver and then on to the Classic Gold.
I recently purchased the the Supreme.
The Supreme does everything I hoped it would but as with anything in this crazy hobby, there's seems to be a trade-off.
I'm getting more clarity and air but the presentation seems to have an edge or sharpness to it.
If everything was just slightly more-should I say organic?-I'd be one happy man.
I have about 60 hours on them.
Will more time smooth things out?
The Gold's are definitely smoother but they lack the air and clarity the Supreme's provide.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Tip of the day, if you have any other fuses in the system, even stock fuses, they also degrade the sound if not in the right direction.

Absolutely correct. Anytime you have access to a fuse that was not been tested for the best direction it is a worthwhile  experiment to listen with that fuse in both directions.

Thanks for the tips. Will try to experiment, who would’ve thought that this tiny fuse change would result in an exercise in patience.

Out of curiosity I swapped out my interconnects to a warmer kind (van den hul) and all of a sudden everything clicked. My phono stage with HFT supreme sounds great now, the highs are more tame and it sounds "right".
