This is definitely a point of diminishing returns.  I don't think any one of us here would likely spend more than $175-225 for a single fuse.  That being said, if you own a Bugatti Veyron, then this could be an option for you!!
oregonpapa,
Was that supposed to be funny? It’s obviously $28.50

dude, it's $28.50 for the base fuse.  Select the option drop-down and see what the price does for each of the different color fuse options!  lol

However if you want to live dangerously, and your circuit breaker is up to the job, you can always try to substitute a 13 amp fuse for a 3/5 amp one.

Yeah, we've covered why this idea and also the idea of "soldering a straight wire instead of a fuse" is a completely BAD idea in another thread.  The problem here is putting a 13A fuse in a preamp type device that normally has a 1-2A fuse.  The transformer and power supply may never pull 13A of current even if there is a short somewhere in the circuit.  This means that the device will not necessarily pop the main 15A house circuit breaker and will constantly be a current drain that can heat the device internals to a point where it can cause a fire.  That is the primary reason why fuses/circuit breakers need to be sized carefully.

Just how many here went to the link I provided and listened to what the engineers at Yamaha found?
....raised hand...lol
