High Quality Fuses in Amps

Question: Are the so called 'high quality' amplifier fuses really worth the money? I have a set of 1999 VTL 125 mono-blocks and I need to replace a fuse. Anyone tried the HIFI Tuning slow blow B+ rail fuses? They are kinda pricey at $29.95 each... Will they make a positive improvement in a good rig?

Based on the what other dude from down under sez I find that easy to believe.

But what type of nail?
I find Stainless Steel gives much better results than galvanized......

Told you stickman, end it before it becomes a full blow weed.
The weed propagators have arrived just the mention of the word fuse, and theyโ€™re on it like s**t to a blanket to peddle their >$100+ fuses.

Full blow weed? Freudian slip, one assumes.
