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?

Fuse threads pop up like weeds, kill/discredit one and another sprouts up.
 I can see why, as the profit margin huge, on some are over 500%, this is enough to bring in the unscrupulous fuse "snake oilers" into our equipment/music passion pastime and ripoff the gullible who don't know better.

And as others have said, ask your question on one of the other fusers threads. So this doesn't turn into a weed.

Cheers George

@stickman451,

Be your own judge, install HiFi Tuning Supreme (BTW they are quite amazing), listen and post your results.
