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.

I really like reading all of these comments. Not because any of the comments will get me to try the different replacement ideas but for human psychological reasons.

I enjoy that there are individuals who have to see what will happen if they do x, y, or z no matter what warnings have been given.  The results are always in one of 3 categories: 1) Nothing happens good or bad, 2) Something good and or new is discovered, or 3) Something bad happens. This need for discovery is what makes us humans. I was one of these people during my first 50 years.  It is what made me happy and financially successful.

It is also interesting that so many have to respond in the negative when they are completely aware that they are not telling us anything that we already do not know or anything that we want to hear, again

Aren't people just amazing?
