If you are using a step up transformer, you do not need to increase the fuse size in your audio equipment. You will already be at the design voltage.

Be sure to get a unit large enough to handle your equipment, probably 2500-3000 watts. Most USA receptacle circuits are 20A @ 120v and a 3000 w unit will be comfortably underloaded and cruising at that load.
Get a good one and you'll probably benefit from the electrical isolation also.
