Even to find that one fuse sounds any different from another would be interesting, and in fact, I had that experience, but I am still not quite willing to believe my ears. There were 4 other audiophiles in the room, at least two of whom are highly respected audio designers known to us all. The fuse was fusing the LED display on an otherwise totally passive preamplifier, which was really only an attenuator, no AC required. So, we did it for fun, comparing a boutique fuse to a hardware store fuse that came with the unit. All of us agreed with no dissent that the sound was better with the cheap fuse. Go figure.
In keeping with the kind of argument Ralph made, I guess it's possible that having a clean contact surface at each end of a fuse is important, on the notion that unwanted resistance and/or whatever inductance and capacitance can be elicited by a poor contact might alter the AC. I don't even like airing this idea; it's grasping at straws for sure.
