I have a VAC SigMKIIa pre and SR RED is NOT thin in my system. My system is very revealing ...
It's all system dependent and personal preferences. Not everyone is endorsing one fuse ... at least not in this thread.
Here are 2 reviews that mirrors my experience
SR RED
Audio Horizon Fuse
I don't buy the idea one would be satisfied with any aftermarket fuse. I tried an Audio Magic fuse and the mid was elevated so didn't stay long. BTW, I might still have it so shoot me a PM and it's yours. It's 4 amp slo-blo that fits a VAC pre.
That's not my understanding how a fuse works. Bigger fuse doesn't sound better but will take a higher current before it blows.

May I just ask--of all the SR Reds and Blacks being placed, how many of you are exceeding stock ratings by a little or a lot?0 out of 5.
This is often needed. Not from my experience
because the SR offerings are high by .5 amp or because the boutique fuses may blow easier at the stock rating
Another reason is a higher rating sounds better, IME. I have pushed the ratings in my AC input fuses by an amp or two. The bigger filament adds more to the overall presentation, I believe.
