To Fuse or Not to Fuse... That is the question!

I would add TUNING is the 21st Century TONE CONTROLS
(I am certain that statement will get a lot of OMG!!! jaw drops and thoughts of horror)

Nope, that’s an excellent analogy I think.

I remember adding solid copper core speaker cables once, it was akin to slamming the bass tone knob to +11!
Awful!

Had to swap them right out to get back to center on the bass knob.

Blocks of wood have given degrees of bass/ treble boost or cut depending on the wood and components.

Still my biggest bang for the buck has been the ex ham radio ceramic cones inverted under most components.

But that’s a different thread.

Tone controls is a different story from SQ. I just thought I’d point that out. Tone controls suggests frequency response controls only. But obviously there’s much more to SQ than just frequency response. For example, transparency, dynamic range, SNR/resolution, soundstage, etc. I think TUNING is a “crutch word.” A “cover-up word.” They use the same crutch word for cables. And footers. There is no mystery, folks. We already know why audiophile fuses are better than stock fuses. We also known cables and footers are not simply tone controls. Get real. Time to wake up and smell the coffee. ☕️

Where is Michael Green when you need him? He can define TUNING is anybody can.

Back decades ago they used to make a mini breaker that inserted right into a fuse holder.
It was designed to REPLACE fuses mostly in cars but same idea could work for hifi.

I had a 70 Charger that continuously blew the main fuse after driving it and the reset breaker was WAY easier than trying to figure out WHY. LOL.

And NO, it never burst into flames on me.
Or left me stranded again after that " fix"

The ginger bread man has lost it! He's requesting Greeny.

Some fuses add some juju to reduce noise or vibration. You need to try them for yourself to see if you find it works.
