There have been discussions on the old forum concerning audiophiles and electrical installation, I have commented previously some years ago about finding a 6.0 mm2 twin and earth cable buried about six inches down in a flower bed running around a house to supply a dedicated audio consumer unit with the cable dogged into the meter tails and only protected by the suppliers 80-amp fuse.
I was told that installing additional circuit protection and in particular RCDs would affect the sound quality from the audio equipment, which was why the cable had been installed as it was to supply the equipment rather than using the socket circuit that already supplied sockets in the where the equipment is.
The objection raised to having MCBs and RCDs was that they contain coils that caused sound quality issues, but surely a fuse is just a piece of wire?
