Fuse upgrades? -- 6.3 amp 250v 5X20mm fast blow fuses

I occasional blow a one of these 4 fuses in my McCormack DNA .05 and use cheap fuse replacements costing maybe $.50 a piece.  Can anyone recommend upgrades fuses that might enhance the performance of the amp, but not costing in the SR price range.  Say $1-$5 a piece?   Thanks for any insights.

Why on Earth would you put fuses anywhere except on the primary of the transformer? The only reason I can imagine is to idiot-proof things because you're customers require idiot-proofing.

Kosst, 
In my Platinum upgrade of the McCormack DNA .05, Steve has four FB rail fuses, two on the main circuit board, and a fuse ahead of the transformer.  I don't know his logic for using so many fuses, and I have blown a few of the rail fuses with poor IC connections, but it is the finest amp I have ever heard.  I think he used the fuses perhaps to idiot-proof them, which I will admit to being one.  Cheers, Mark
