if we don"t believe fuses .. should be also supply cord/cable, power supply cap...
As to using Russ Andrews hugely over priced components - LOL.
Why on earth do Brits carry on using the fused 3 pin plugs, they just are'nt nec. at all. I moved to the mainland over 13 years ago and bought myself a really cheap dis.block from Lidls. It out-performs a very expensive UK dis-block. Nobody in Europe has any problems using Schuko plugs which have no fuses. Why do you want to go on using fuses especially expensive ones, just crazy.

When I first swapped in the AMRs, I got a mixed result: the sound did get a bit too smooth and the improvement over stock was not clear cut. Then I changed the fuse direction and the system just woke up with a more dynamic "live" and detailed sound. This was clearly better, but there was a partial downside in that it slightly exacerbated bright recordings - completely contrary to AMR's warm reputation. I like my hifi tweaks to have no downside at all, i.e. the dynamics without the brightness. So I was considering the new SR Red, as the pf review said all the right words, but negura's experience has caused me to pause.

It also depends on your gear. The KGSSHV is slightly warm sounding with outstanding bass. I use the HFT Supreme in the amp and Russ Andrews Superfuse in the mains chord. They are both very detailed fast and transparent. I personally dont really like slow and warm fuses no matter of the gear.
You could try the AHP fuses. They are middle of the way imo. PS Audio uses them in their Dacs.
I've tried again the SR Red fuse last night, this time in my DAC mains plug. I still do not like it. Decent mids, BIG soundstage, but that's it.
I'd rate my preference in mains plug fuses like this:
Russ Andrews >> Bussman stock* = Hifi Tuning Gold >= SR Red
On my speaker gear:
Hifi Tuning Gold > SR Red
ooohh that's your personal taste .... you like silver ... fast detail transparent .. others perhaps will like SR because more warm, holographic, ....
