Section '13.11 Fuse, Relay and Connector Distortion' page 268.

Conclusion:

"At 20 Hz, amplifier distortion due to the fuse is calculated to be 0.0033 %."

Me: And, of course no harmonics are affected or altered.

How much are your speakers worth that you would put them at risk over the silliness of fuse adding distortion at audible levels?
