I use AHP fuses from Germany. They are very good comparing to normal glass or ceramic fuses. They simply genarete much less distortion than industrial fuses do. And it's consequences are: lower noise floor, more low level detail, ... That's more musicality.
Using these audiograde fuses is not primarily a dynamic issue.
If you want more dynamic, use an appropriate circuit breaker instead.
I use breakers in my power monos. They are 5 amp breakers, but this series is designed from 0.1 - 100A. This means they have extrmely robust brass contact. The on/off switch was also removed from my monoblocks, using the breaker's switch only as on-off. The original switch was a 16A switch only, and completelly unnecessary with the breaker.
In the CD player, tuner & phono I use still AHPs. They have 1A and below fuses, and I'm a bit sceptic that breakers will operate with these low-consumption devices as fine as in the 5A range. But I will try it as soon as I can get appropriate breaker in this low amperage range.
There are a lot of additional AC tweaks. I was settled up an independent electric meter, multipath with solid core 6N monocrystal cables to the hifi. Independent of my house wireing. It is legal at my country. What a different !
And does the power supply of your devices also run at optimum ?
I don't think so. Maybe you can find better caps, diodes, ...
Eg. silicium diodes most common in power supplies are producing meassurable and audible noise. So does digital sources.
Unfortunatelly, the principles and parts used in the hifi are so imperfect relative to the resolution of the human earth.
