I think I'll stick to the offerings of companies like Cooper Bussmann.

I've used measuring instruments from companies like Tektronix, HP/Agilent/Keysight, etc. Working with signals way above the audio band. Measuring to an accuracy way above what my ears could detect (and I suspect _any_ ears could detect). And not one of them used any kind of 'exotic' fuse...

Quite simply, if the impedance of you amplifier's mains fuse makes a noticeable difference to the sound then your amplifier's power supply needs redesigning properly!
