Anyone used these audio ceramic slow blow fuses from Littlefuse?

While perusing the fuse offerings at Mouser Electronics I noticed these audio/medical fuses priced at around $9.00 US. As someone who has been reluctant to spend the price for the highest priced audiophile fuses, these more reasonably priced offerings caught my eye. Just curious if anyone has had occasion to try them and form an opinion. I must say the attention to quality control, ratings specifications, and published testing results make these look more appealing to me than the rather vague specs of many "audiophile" fuses.

“Fuses are simple things.”

They look simple, anyway. 🤗 What do audiophiles know that Littelfuse doesn’t?

At the very least we know Littelfuss will spec accurately and have excellent quality control. They have an enormous and sophisticated customer base in. Ritical industries. I’ll buy and try when the opportunity arises.

In reality, Littelfuse fuses blow prematurely just as much as fancy audiophile fuses. Nice try, anyway. No industry is more ritical than audio. Didn’t you know that? I assume you don’t know any audiophiles.
