Safe to replace fast blow fuse with slow?

If the fuses are the same amperage is it safe to use a 'slow blow' fuse to replace a 'fast blow'? I'm considering the audiophile fuses by HIFI Tuning and I've been told that the slow blow fuses sound better than the fast blow (maybe because they're larger diameter, I'm not sure). Thanks

That's a different story.

Replacing slow with fast is safe. You might get a lot of nuisance blows but your equipment is protected.

Replacing fast with slow might not blow fast enough when it is supposed to and damage something.
