Just following up on comments here. I originally tested the Furutech fuse along with several other fuses a few years ago. I came to the conclusion that the Furutech was the "fastest" fuse (i.e. all the instruments hit faster with more authority), but it seemed too "solid-state" sounding to me.
Years later, after playing with multiple types of power plugs, I have determined that the rhodium plated items from Furutech really take 250+ hours to fully burn in before they sound best. In the first 100 hours you will have a natural roll-off of the high frequencies. Bass can also be lean. I think bass comes back after 100 hours, but between 100-200 hours the highs become really bright and harsh, causing everything else to sound harsh. After 200+ hours, the rhodium finally starts to calm down and after 250+ hours they really start to open up and just sound absolutely phenomenal. The resolution and strength and punch and bass power (the whole deal) is just awesome.
I have no problem with the brass instruments that gbmcleod said he didn't like. Once it's burned it, it does everything perfectly. I came back to this fuse after a long time listening to Isoclean and wanted more resolution. The Isoclean's were great and very warm, but they did have as much high frequency resolution. The Synergistic SR20 had resolution and were very fast, but they just didn't sound real (they were cold sounding to me). I tried Synergistic RED, but it was just too soft (not enough resolution). I didn't like Hi-Fi Tuning because I don't like the sonic signature of silver (it pushed the upper mids/highs and just didn't sound as real to me) - though many people like this. After working through A/C power connectors and determining the rhodium copper alloy from Furutech was the best, I tried the Furutech fuses again. I think many people just haven't given enough break-in time for these fuses. I think the rhodium plated copper end-caps and the copper alloy conductor are the best materials to use. Furutech puts a damping filler in the fuse to help with electrical resonance of the very thin fuse element (as akin to what Audio Magic does with LittleFuse fuses).
