The same way your mouth can obviously!, instead of asking weird questions, why not try listening for yourself, and then you tell us, how about it genius.

You had mentioned that some components require more air/sparkle while referencing ion man's use of two different fuses. Are you implying that if your amp does not have the requisite air/sparkle, then the addition of one of the fuses will address this need? Does that mean that the current fuse is somehow inhibiting the inherent air/sparkle lying within, or does that mean that the component is neutral (and doesn't exhibit air/sparkle in the first place) and that the fuse will add air/sparkle?
I think this is a relevant question to the topic.
Okay, relevant point, so it deserves a response.I was more or less referring to one system not so much as the fuses themselves that add a sense of air/sparkle per SE, but things like the metal plating in/on items like ones cabling - AC cord and even fuses to my mind alter the sound, as some would except the theory that gold plating general emphasizes the warmer side of the audio spectrum and is generally heard through the midband area, where as copper is more geared towards bringing a more neutral sound into the mix - by adding warmth, yet with a fuller/richer more pronounced weight that are concentrated between the upper midrange and lower bass extremes, metal plating like say Rhodium have a nice sense of adding extension at the top end with a little bit of refinement added, yet lacks drive/snap if you will.
While lastly silver plating/plated in one form are another tends to emphasize a greater sense of resolution and/or air/sparkle into the mix as far as upper frequencies go, but as always we hear differently, but I'm one that can hear the different frequencies affected by these alloys as presented by their sonic signatures on a whole, as someone mentioned earlier on about the caps being finished in either Silver - Rhodium or Gold, do in fact have an adverse effect on the outcome of what said fuses signature more or less hints at, based purely upon ones perspective of their known sounds as used in plating materials for said connectors or even the wiring harness within any given component - is altered by one selection of silver or copper wiring, but I'm not one for measurements or jargon and tend to voice things accordingly by ear, as they are capable of telling me if something sounds correct!, or if something's off/unnatural?.
It's merely a matter of what each of us then wants to hear?, it's all subjective at best, but where does safety guidelines or ratings have any effect on the outcome if one is merely seeking to gain a higher sense of fidelity or musicality through the use of said devices?, as cabling looms - power cords - isolation devices - tubes and cartridges have a sound of their own, and once introduced to one system, changes the sound/tonality/timbre/texture/pitch of the shading of the instruments themselves - in my mind everything that entered ones system changes the sound from dull/lifeless - neutral/transparent or finally aggressive/analytical as those are in fact the only three flavors/shadings of sound as rendered through our systems, it's merely a matter of which one, each of us then prefers and voice our systems accordingly.
Endgame.
