Aftermarket fuse to tame a bright system?

Been reading all the interesting posts here, I've recently switched over to Audioquest silver interconnects and speaker cables, the improvement is easy to hear over OCC copper - lower noise floor, more clarity, greater transient snap, larger soundstage etc.... BUT.

I would say my system still has body, but the top end is now bright/harsh.  Could an aftermarket fuse tame this, so that I can still retain the clarity and other benefits of silver? I'm concerned that this potential solution may make my system more dynamic, and potentially give it a U or V shape sound profile - which is definitely what I don't want.

A couple beers will solve your problem more than will any fuse or cables.

I took possession yesterday of a pair of Audio Magic Masterpiece M2’s to grace the Audion Mk3 monoblocs. These fuses have been just the ticket for the last bit of settling down of the Cornwall 4’s. They get a soft grip on the treble and high mids without lessening detail at all. Even though they are nowhere near break-in yet it is already quite obvious that they are a perfect match for my set-up. First thing noticed was that diction of the sung word was quite a bit more intelligible. This may be because instrument separation is handled better which then de-clutters the music. The music is also less in your face but with no diminution of musical information - more relaxed, more natural sounding. This is as close a sound to my tube set-up as I have ever gotten with a SS system.

I am just starting out - more later.
