In two cases I was using old stock tubes that I probably shouldn't have and were twitchy -- so the fuses blew rather than melting a resistor if the fuses had held. In the other case I had/have an integrated that was sensitive to the initial power-on in-rush.
The latter problem was solved with going from a slow-blow to an extra slow-blow designed for exactly that situation. I had even sent the integrated in and was told that except for a slightly higher DC offset than ideal, there was nothing wrong with it.
I continue to use aftermarket fuses in my speakers and integrated and had previously used them in a CD player and a couple of amps. In no case did the equipment ever suffer any damage due to using properly rated aftermarket fuses.
