Best fuses for under $50?


I need six of them for a power amp therefore I need something more economical...  say $50 or less. Any suggestions?

My stereo amp uses 7 fuses !
Replacing the original glass fuses with ceramic fuses made a positive 
improvement , I then purchased an expensive fuse for the main power
and while I did hear an improvement over an off the shelf fuse I can't say it was  big enough to justify the many times the price I paid .
I did discover that you should purchase a name brand fuse ,
I had used generic fuses from my local electronics supplier
and discovered the difference in sonics after one blew and I replaced the 6 on the board with Bussman fuses. Wow what a positive difference.
I went further and replaced the 6 sets of fuse holders on the baord
with Littlefuse solid copper silver plated holders and
I replaced the 20 amp main fuse holder with a military spec 30 amp
holder.
AND NO YOU ARE NOT A FOOL AS analogluvr WOULD HAVE YOU BELIEVE.
IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT AND YOU HEAR AN IMPROVEMENT GO FOR IT .
Being an audiophile is fun, it's personal and it's expensive .

$50 each ?

I have 7 fuses on my amp , the most expensive is a Furutech as the main fuse ,

then I use 2  HiFi tuning fuses on the signal inputs and finally 4 bussman ceramic fuses on the power rails .  Total cost under $100 , but I did purchase the Furutech and HiFi Tuning fuses on sale .
