if doing so then using genuine house and electronic standard fuses would be the way to see if any of the main makers sound dfferent. they are bound to be safe and cheap.

Fuses are safety devices and must meet correct safety standards. Should for instance the use of a non-compliant fuse result in a fire that burns down a block of flats, you may find your home insurers refuse to cover it. Still, you might pay off the cost in a few lifetimes, assuming you've survived the blaze!
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

exactly, hence if trying this, you should use genuine house and electronic standard fuses.. i would avoid any that make claims.Originally Posted by walpurgis

Ideally the fuse should marked (and comply with) BS 1362, otherwise in the event of a claim your house and contents insurance provider may well quibble. That said, some Chinese-made versions sold cheaply in supermarkets etc. may be so marked, but do not conform to BS 1362.
Always buy plug-top fuses from a reputable (ideally UK) manufacturer, such as MK, MEM, Crabtree, Marbo etc., though again most, if not all, companies have been bought out and taken over, so their products may not now be as good as that made by the original company. Caveat emptor!

Before farting around with fuses I’d pay attention to any mains block by siting it off the floor on an isolation shelf of your choice.

What part, or parts, of a mains block is/are microphonic, to suggest that a mains block would benefit from being sited off the floor?

Fuses ( I’ve never tried them for sq improvement)
Don’t lift it too high, though, otherwise you’ll make it more susceptible to RF interference which will cause your inky blacks to go a bit grey.

Any decent mains block will be metal clad, and so should have a high immunity to RFI.
Avoid any of those moulded plastic affairs you see in supermarkets.

No idea. All I can tell you, using a Musicworks block, is that the sound changes depending on the surface on which it is placed. Quite a lot.

I like these realms in which scepticism hovers; really good predicament for investigation.
