RE: is the fuse holder itself a cause of sonic degradation? ...

As I think neo commented - they most certainly are (a source of SQ degradation). So I would recommend getting rid of them.

20 years ago, when I 'renovated' my MG-IIIas, I replaced the stock tweeter fuse-holders with some 'audiophile' panel fuse-holders ... because I was worried about blowing a ribbon! I had to make up L-shaped brackets, to fit the new fuse-holders onto the back plates.

There never were any mid-panel fuse-holders on these IIIas as the dealer I bought them from had already removed them, when I bought them from him! :-))

15 years later, when I made up my 'Frankenpans' by combining T-IVa mid/ribbon panels with MG-2.5 bass panels (so they are, basically, T-IVas with only 1 bass panel each side), I removed the tweeter fuses. So for 10 years, I've been running without ribbon fuses - so I would say, providing your amp doesn't clip ... there is no 'danger' in running without tweeter fuses.
