I don't personally see how a fuse can make a difference knowing what I know about what is on either side of it. However many people are willing to support the foolishness of premium fuses and fund the snake oil salesmen. One was a used car salesman who found out audiophiles are more gullableand are more easily parted with their money than, well... need i go on?
The advantage of LittleFuse is that their fuses are real, tested, certified by real testing labs. Audiophile fuses are generally not tested by anyone and would likely fail those tests. I read a test report on the ones from Germany. The report was a joke, meaningless, proved nothing.
Besides being a waste of money audiophile fuses may damage your equipment.
I use Ceramic High Breaking LittleFuses in all my products because they have an interrupt rating of10,000 amps which is necessary for a tube fuse. On a 200 Ma fuse this is not easy to do, but they do it. Interrupt rating is not well known in the audio community. Its quite interesting if you own a tube amp.
Here are their credentials, I would like to see the same for audiophile fuses. https://www.littelfuse.com/~/media/electronics/application_guides/littelfuse_fuseology_application_g...
