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?

This is getting close, since I never, for the last 15 years, had the need for any equipment fuses, aftermarket or otherwise. 
Must be ever so 🍀? 

My PassLabs power-amp uses a circuit breaker, and all my other equipment uses some electronic means of protection... at least that's my best guess. 🤔 😉

Thanks, Steakster.

Just put a hold on my order for
SR Orange fuses!

Anybody else, to comment on the
Digi-Key littelfuse?

Why do all people who don't believe fuse directionality  bring up the old AC flows in both directions the current does but that's just the medium not what your equipment actually consumes. your electric energy would be free if this was true.

I put a Blue in an integrated Amp. Thought I heard a difference. But did I? 
If you like to tweak, then why not. Can’t hurt. It’s all part of the fun as we scout around to make improvement$.
