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?

I've tried both the Isoclean slow-blow fuse ($35.00) and Cryoparts deep-cryoed ceramic slow-blow fuse ($7.75) in my amp and prefer the Cryoparts fuse.

Deep cryoed ceramic- OF COURSE! What a great idea. You can buy these at RS and freeze them for a week or so, slowly thaw and you should have a much better sounding fuse than not doing so, or spend a few bucks for real deep cryo.

I have done this with CDRs to excellent effect.
