Audiophile Grade Fuses

Hi fellow music lovers,
As I'm in the process of voicing/finalizing my system, as I've researched all of the other tweaks in which to build upon a systems foundation as preached by Roy Gregory back in 2000 in an article he began in Hi-Fi + and continues to discuss to this very day in his writings on the E-zine called the Audio Beat.
Through the assistance of a few well known tweakers here, namely Duster and Unclestu, I've found my way through the different sonics of metal alloys as used in RCA Plugs - Binding Post - AC and IEC Sockets - Isolation Feet/Devices/Platforms - Audio Rack/Speaker Stands as well as Speaker/Stand Intefacing Devices, and have reached that point in my life's journey - where it has reached its end, as far as components go - I'm the happiest I've been with a system in 34 years at this hobby, and know that in my heart, my system is good enough to not want to change a single item, less it fars apart and I've to start all over again.
I'm looking into fuses for said components - and have narrowed my search down to say 4 brands, like AMR Gold Fuses - Audio Horizon Platinum Reference - Audio Magic Nano - Synergistic Research Quantum Red fuses.
Yet I know that in some ( if not most ) cases said fuses are viewed like our systems, as subjective at best, but I'm also one of those sorts that believe that most things as they relate to audio can be generalized within certain categories like say as we do with the sonic signatures of tubes - cabling looms or cartridges for that matter - I'm trying to avoid wasting funds where I don't have to, hence my asking for your assistance here - I'm looking for a sound that's organic in nature, with a sense of purity/tonality/texture and truer sense of timbre and pitch relationship as they relate to the musical instruments/notes themselves - I'm not into overly etched highs that I see/hear as a fake sense of detail at the expense of beauty or truthfulness - and prefer a more neutral approach which offers shimming highs - open and spacious midrange texture - accurate bass notes that can be heard/felt, but above all naturally balanced top to bottom.
I'm merely trying to get a feel for what you guys have heard?, and can assist me in narrowing this quest to say maybe two of the strongest options listed above, I don't mind spending upwards of $140 for said Audio Horizon Platinum Refernce seeming that my integrated retailed for $3.600, and in my mind deserve a small investment that's well worth it, if it will in fact enhance my listening sessions for the better.
There are a few reviews here and there on each of these fuses, but I tend to trust the opinions of people whom have actually taken the time to purchase and listen to said items for themselves - after all whom should we trust more then fellow music lovers, as well as consumers whom put their funds where their mouths are sort to speak. So, can you guys come together as a collective whole and see me through this?, as I'm so eager to get off the bandwagon as far as chasing components or the illusion of the absolute sound goes, I'd much rather spend whatever time I've left on the planet enjoying my music collection through a system that has taken me five years to figure out how to get the best out off each/every component, and just want to stop the madness and chill.
I'm open-minded enough to hear what each of you've to say, so by all means - shall we proceed!.
Thanks in advance to those of you willing to come to my assistance on what I see as my final phase of this life long journey - that has run it course and ends here.
Regards,
