This is true for any fuse. Fuseholders can be a source of distorsion. Gold- or silverplated fuses is of no help if the fuseholder itself is nickelplated. You can use fuses with soldertags, far cheaper and less contact points.

If you want to improve the sound first get rid of the fuse holders. Use 3AG fuses with pigtails and solder them across the leads to the holder. Inconvenient when they blow but they shouldn't be blowing anyway.
Was not able to find a 3 amp fuse that is 3A size.... for the maggies... Thanks
Try Mouser or Digi-key and look for Littelfuse Series 318. (Littelfuse Part #0318003).
