The secret to a great amplifier...

And again,  you are just making things up using terms you don't understand very well, while eschewing the one form of science that would deliver a proper and somewhat repeatable result, proper testing, with our ears, and not our eyes.

No, you are of the opinion pleasing ones eyes, which can fool the brain (for a period of time) that the ears are happy, but the ears are not actually happy, a higher level decision was made to say "we are happy". However, as it was not a real change, it does not last.  It is like a pretty car with bad handling. You come out and look at the car and go, "oh its so pretty", and you forget about the bad handling ... till you are 20 minutes into the drive.

"A modicum of Wave-Particle Duality and QED study, can open one's eyes to the POSSIBLITIES, surrounding what's happening with conductors, dielectrics, and our voltages/signals." - This is just subterfuge and completely meaningless. We can measure bulk effects with great accuracy. You don't have to understand everything that happens at a low level to understand the macro effects. If there is no "why" then the how is quite meaningless.  Bringing up particle/wave duality and quantum mechanics to try justifying that a fuse may be important is called clutching at straws. If you can't measure a sufficient bulk effect, than the underlying physics does not matter.

I will make a leap and guess that you don't even really understand how a fuse behaves at a bulk level in a power supply circuit, yet you want to start talking low level physics?

"If you can’t measure......"      That’s been, "science’s" failing, throughout it’s history and- always my point.      ie: Knowing how or what to measure.      If you had the slightest background (or- genuine interest) in the subject, you’d understand.      With no foundation/higher education in Physics  (obviously), you can’t begin to grasp anything (the, "possibilities") to which I refer.     Hence; your posts are full of uneducated, "leaps" (assumptions) and any responses (on my part) are a waste of keystrokes.

Anyone interested in whether installing a better fuse (whether high-Dollar, "audiophile", or- simply a better constructed one, as mentioned by some), can make a difference in your system’s presentation: just TRY them, for yourselves, as did this thread’s OP.      The Naysayer Church HATES it, when THAT happens!            Whatever the rationale; if it sounds better TO YOU, it will have been worth the effort.

You can throw all the insults you want out. I will put my knowledge and understanding of physics, experimental and theoretical up against yours any day. Have at it.  You show your hand when you talk in flowery language, but can't apply specific aspects of physics to very specific problems. That is the difference between people who know, and those that just read. Those that know talk in specifics, not generalities.

But, most of all, you continue to try to convince others not to use proper experimentation in perceptive analysis. No person in the sciences would ever claim that none blind tests were valid or continually promote them as having significant validity.

As noted above, I am all for people testing fuses, just test them, with only your ears, and not your eyes.  Get someone to help you so you can eliminate bias.  Then maybe we can put this topic to bed.

By the by, there's a video on YouTube by Paul McGowen where he talks about fuses and it meets your very same requirements. In it, he tells of a friend of his who's doing something to one of his amps away from Paul, who's sitting some distance away, both talking audio.

Now Paul has no idea what his friend is doing, who tells him to just sit there and listen. Paul never knows if something is being changed or not, when prompted, or what it is that's being changed. Every single time he's asked if he hears a difference for better or worse, he's correct in his assessment. 

Turns out his friend was swapping out a fuse.

All the best,
