Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please
I recently began experimenting with slugs in place of fuses on most of my components and the results have been VERY rewarding. I'll write up a full review eventually but am awaiting possible different metal slugs in the near future. I started with copper and the improvement from stock fuses to the copper slugs was quite noticeable but, honestly, nothing compared to the upgrade from copper to solid silver slugs from Golden State Silver and, shockingly, titanium slugs. Can anyone comment on their DIRECT experience(s) with slugs other than copper? I'm looking into tungsten and possibly molybdenum presently. I'd love to try platinum or palladium but that's probably beyond my reach. AND PLEASE, THERE'S NO NEED TO COMMENT ON HOW FOOLISH IT IS TO BYPASS THE FUSE WITH SLUGS-----WE ALREADY KNOW---YOU'VE TOLD US EXHAUSTIVELY.
Rod Serling would say: Entertain the thought that the OP is having you on. While none of you've a shred of observed evidence that any of the OP's statements are true, you've plunged head-on into a frenzy of damnation. Perhaps it's all a prevarication, a ruse and you've entered "The Twilight Zone." And that is the genesis of propaganda. Not seeing, but believing. You are too easy. |
Warning Will Robinson! In the end, it's not our stuff in jeopardy. So why so much concern? I had to replace a fire rated door in my house because the previous owner had punched a pet door in it completely negating its purpose. Important to me, not to them. The guy at Window World where I ordered a new one shared that his dog and a pet door were far more important than a fire rated door. An insurance investigator finding such a thing would reject any claim for fire loss. We all make choices. And really, who are we to police everyone and their actions with no direct involvement? I worked Level l trauma for years. How many stupid things came through the doors in just one shift? Not my place to judge. |
@bikeboy52 I hear you. I sold 4 rental properties off in 2022. One left. Herding cats is coming to an end. |
The Savior or White Knight Complex: People who have a messiah complex can have either good or bad intentions for trying to save others. They can get positive and negative outcomes from trying to save others (as can the people they try to help). A full risk assessment of members would probably reveal some scary life style choices, dangerous occupations and questionable food fetishes. So what? OP disclosed full responsibility for actions and understands the risks. Period. |
