So…would it be better to use a circuit breaker instead of a fuse for better sound quality?
Shunyata uses circuit breaker’s in their power distributers and get rave reviews. It would certainly help falling down the rabbit hole of upgrading fuses.

It would make fuse rolling impractical for units so equipped. How would you know you had the best breaker?
I guess that would be a subject for another topic of “What’s the best circuit breaker for sound quality”

Changing circuit breakers in electronics is really out of the question because it is a non user serviceable part. First of all you definitely will void the warranty by doing so and even if you can locate it on the circuit board, and find a better part with the same rating, soldering it in and out of the circuit is not for the novice.
No….what I meant is brand new from the manufacture.
Shunyata uses a special electromagnetic breaker which is better than a typical circuit breaker.

The Audio Excellence PowerWing II also uses the Carlingswitch™ magnetic circuit breaker in its design.

Hi Joe! As you’ve probably guessed, Peer Gynt is just another johnson 
.
I had a feeling but in case it was really you I wanted to respect your privacy until if/when you said something.
Welcome to the Forum!
Peer Gynt was a Norwegian, filled with wanderlust. In his old age he tried to return to his homeland, and his first love.
I identify with him, and since Grieg took Ibsen’s work and set it to music, I occasionally use it as an alias on audio forums. Like Peer, I eventually fade away.
I am curious about the ordering of fuse trials. Power Plant, amp, preamp source is intuitive ordering… but intuition often fails in this hobby.

Having a circuit breaker with very low and near constant resistance would be better than any fuse IMHO. Initial cost is higher than a fuse/holder, but that would end the boutique fuse market.
