ISO advice for replacement fuse

I have a Muse Model 2 DAC for which I need a replacement fuse. The old (and original) fuse is marked 1/2 amp, 250 Volts... but says nothing that I can see about it being either a Slo or Fast blow fuse. I've e-mailed and left voice mails at Muse Electronics, but they have ignored me... perhaps because my DAC is an older and long since discontinued product. Of course, that's no excuse for their failure to respond, but it is as it is... Are there any fellow Audiogoners out there who have experience with the product and can advise me on the proper replacement fuse? I'm thinking of one of the premium HIFI Tuning fuses from Germany and am guessing I want a slo blow, but want to be sure... Thanks

at 1/2 amp, a regular fuse will be just a tiny, hair-like piece of wire between the endcaps.
Slo-Blo? Should have some heatsinking.
For electronics without surge....like a DAC, slo-blo simply makes no sense.
