Is there a solid fuse-like item that I can use in place of a fuse, to bypass it?

Big fan of this idea.  

If you are able to spend thousands of dollars of disposable income on the smallest nuance of sound improvement, and you are convinced that the fuse reduces sound quality, then you can afford to buy a new component if it fails when the fuse could have protected it.  

I have a lathe and can turn you a piece of copper the size of your fuse.  It would be better to get it silver plated.  

Alternatively it could be coated in anti-oxidation grease.

Send me a message if I can help.

lots of gloom-and -doomers in this thread.  I'm sure you think this is my first rodeo.  

I'm not going to argue with you.  This is America, you're entitled to your opinion.  Please make sure you have fuses, surge protectors, and breakers all to keep your home from burning down the next time you're playing music.
