Yes they improve the system. Keep in mind fuses are also used inline for speaker/amp connects (no power only). For those who are more budget minded the litlefuse 285 slow blow and 218 fast-blow are great options under $10 each.
The secret to a great amplifier...
Is a $150 Orange fuse from Synergistic Research. Seriously, extreme boost in sonic performance. Blacker background, larger soundstage... if I wanted to make some bucks, I’d put these is cheap OEM compnents and start letting the accolades and purchasers come calling.
Mind you, I have a high value-oriented $20k system, so it was nice before, but damn!

After doing some research I found Littlefuse sells AUDIO/MEDICAL quality fuses Series 285 they are all slo-blow, buy come in various sizes including 5x20 The 218 series ceramic are fast-blow fuses, but not the audio grade. Still an improvement over glass fuses. Did a/b and there were an improvement in my amp, and preamp. I personally prefer a known engineered part with industry / manufacturing standards then taking a chance with any audiophile fuses that do not have any standards. I am not saying all audiophile fuses have no standards. So use caution. https://m.littelfuse.com/~/media/electronics/datasheets/fuses/littelfuse_fuse_285_datasheet.pdf.pdf |
