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!

Just got the graphene paste, put it on all my fuses, amps DAC. Unless I am hallcinating, there are a lot more microdetails present in the playback. A sort of Grain vanished from the music immediately. 
micro details, micro details, microdetails...
Amazing simple tweak. Directions say 48 hours for the full cure. 
Thank you!!

The graphene paste took a certain ringing out of my playback. Crazy, just some paste on fuses  was able to do this. HI-Fi is one  weird Rabbit Hole.

@Yuviarora,

congrats: RCAs, power chords (particularly if they are fused, otherwise just the prongs), USB, ethernet and tube sockets (particularly on signal tubes!) next. The stuff is amazing.

@ antigrunge2 This stuff is magic. 
I just put it on my USB cable, and all my power cords (all DIY) opened them up and applied the paste on the inside as  well as outside. I am hearing another jump in resolution, and smoothness in playback. Everything sounds more "Real".  I'll listen more critically after everything has had time to settle down. 
Thank you for the recommendation.

@antigrunge2  This is the best I have ever heard Pianos in my system, the decay is pretty much perfect. All ringing is gone, and notes sound super crisp. 
Thank you for this little hack, I am enjoying it very much and it'll be a staple for me going forward. Dynamics have improved quite a lot, and everything sounds more real and tangible than before. 
USB cable, Fuse, AC cables, XLR.....Everything has gotten the paste treatment.
