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?

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.

I use HiFi Tuning fuses in all my components. They always bring an improvement for my ears. Sometimes the improvement is huge/obvious, sometimes more subtle but always worth the money. Even for my old Marantz cd11LE with 5 fuses in it was well worth it. Most componets use more then 1 fuse !! Look inside.
