Are all fuses created equal?

Al, I guess that answers my question, there is little difference between fuses manufactured by reputable companies. At least as applies to the two brands in question.

I will rest easy knowing that damage done to my amp had nothing to do with the fuse selection. And, I will be far more cautious in terms of checking my tubes if a fuse ever blows again.

Thanks again.

@Marakentz the nice thing about Wiki is that if the information is missing or is not to your liking you can always add or change it. I look forward to learn about fuzzes!

Nick_sr,
Your thread here, plus a little down time for minor surgery, got me looking further into the whole fuse thing. Here is a link with some interesting reading posted by the Roger A. Modjeski, the designer of Music Reference amplifiers.

Another interesting post is located down near the bottom of the same page by Scott Novak, which starts out...

After having spent 6 years performing safety testing on switching power supplies I would be very concerned about using any protective device, fuse or circuit breaker, that did not have safety agency approvals.

Update, I got my amps back from service this week, it turns out that only the led for the bias adjustment was fried. So I guess the fuses served their purpose after all.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Quicksilver who graciously honoured the three year warranty which had elapsed about a month before the amp failed.

Fuses sound best when mains passes from East to West.
Adjust your amps that way and listen again ...

I'm with Elizabeth also on the topic of fuses.
