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?

I have always considered the fuse application to be very subjective and from my experience equipment dependent.
Hence the thread to see if we can get some honest opinions that might bear that out.
You know all the time I had my Maggie speakers I never thought about swapping the fuses in them.😕😕
I believe Elizabeth did and was adamant it made some difference?

I have considered doing my Esoteric sacd player too so your response is very helpful.
Time to look at what's involved as in how many... Lol.

I suspect Testpilot response was a joke which is fine, much preferred to vitriol!
However if serious I am truly interested in what he tried a fuse in.

uber,

That's good!  Maybe if the usual shillers, obfuscators (chief one is missing in action which bodes well for this) and other hardliners on both sides can tone it down a bit some useful information will come of it.

Exactly my fervent hope Mapman.

I thought a thinking man's fuse thread was long overdue.
I can but try.....
