Need to know proper ampere valu for fuse.

I Have a parasound HCA 1200 II amp and I need to replace a 5 x 20 mm fuse inside. I think the fuse is rated at 250v.
Is the amperage rating critical? Does anybody know the proper amperage value that I should replace. I would appreciate all the help from Audiogoner's.

Thanks,
Art

Just to set things clear:'
Slow Bow fuses have a thick coil of wire inside,sometimes filled with fusible metal.It looks chunky by all means.

Fast blow fuses have a very thin wire inside.
Always ask the manufacturer. If you replace a fast blow fuse with a slow blow one you may get into trouble!
Good luck
