Thank you for a most interesting post. I am glad you auditioned the fuse in both directions.
Too much detail - and the emotional response to this change. This is a fascinating situation. The RED fuse does have less detail and background noise reduction than the Black. I hope you will send the Black fuse back for a refund. Synergistic Research is very serious about wanting you to return the fuse if it does not help.
In my system I preferred a Black fuse in the CD player and in the Tube amp over a Red in the CD player and a Black in the amp.
barbapapa's point idea may well work but it is difficult to return an Audio Magic fuse. It may be your system is now "there" from an emotional satisfaction standpoint. After replacing my fuses I did benefit from a small readjustment of speaker toe in.
What is the value of the amp fuse?
