FUSES VALUES: 250 volts VS 500 volts

I am planning to buy either ISOCLEAN fuses and the well regarded HIFI TUNING FUSES just to hear wich one react the best in my system.
I have a total of 9 fuses to replace some are the small(.79'') of 250 volts value but when it came with the larger HIFI TUNING fuses ( 1.26'')the voltage given is 500 volts...
My 9 stock fuses got a value of 250 volts the small one and the larger one.
I was told in the case of a stock 8 amp of 250 volt to choose a 4 amp with a value of 500 volt (Hifi Tuning fuse)?
So what should i do???

Use an 8 amp fuse, no more no less. If you were to use instead 4 amps you would be popping a 30 dollar fuse every time you try to power up.

Never ever listen to anyone contradicting the equipment manual or the manufacturer's tech support.
