And did these fuses blow for a reason?
Follow Ups:
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.

You're one of the lucky ones. Check out Roger Modjesky at another site and see what he thinks of these kinds of fuses.
That was an excellent read! There was even something in it for the yea-sayers who don't want all their hard earned money to go to the fuse makers(soldering in silver wire). I haven't mad a decision on all of this. but I like to see all the opinions.
