Hi Ubiquitous Biscuit,
I believe that a audiophile grade fuse can act in a couple ways in order to alter the sound of a stereo component/system or impart a particular sonic signature. The first way a fuse can alter the sound is by "Addition by subtraction". Think of the fuse as a type of filter or choke. If the fuse allows the component to perform better by reducing the filter or opening up the choke then the component can perform at a higher level. This is realized by a reduction of noise in the component or a lowering of the noise floor (i.e. blacker background), so to speak. If there is less noise in the compoenent then you will notice more air/space between instruments and there will be more resolution to the sound. The sound may even become more relaxed and natural.
The other way a fuse can impart a sonic signature to the sound would be from the materials that it is made from. I tend to lean toward copper mainly for my interconnects as I find it to offer a more natural/organic sound compared to silver, which adds speed and detail to the sound but may sound a little lean and sterile. I believe the Hifi Tuning Fuses use a silver wire, which should impart a very detailed but leaner sound. I do not find this to be the case, since the endcaps are coated with gold which tends to impart a warmer sound; therefore, you get the best of both.
These audiophile grade fuses are indeed expensive, but after having them in my system for the past few years there is no way I could be able to enjoy my system,at the level that I currently am, without them.
