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.

Aha, so you made your own slugs from the rod. What kind of saw blade and sand paper grit did you use

If you cut them yourself, did you polish the cuts? I remember when I was using OEM  fiber optic cables, and a guy was selling his with polished ends using a large magnifying scope: it was a VG improvement

Very cool. I can’t help but wonder whether coating the fuse holder contacts with graphene oxide would add anything. Im on Golden State site now, but do not see the slugs. How did you approach them about it?
