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


Hi All,

instead of using a "gourmet" fuse in certain situations, I want to bypass the fuse entirely with a solid piece of metal. I also want to avoid soldering-in a piece of wire in the fuse’s place.

Are there solid pieces of silver or copper, the same size as a fuse, that i can swap into a fuse holder?

Do you want to give your insurance company an excuse not to pay you if your equipment starts a fire, albeit a small chance ?

I agree in principal but disagree on the last bit. It isn't a small chance that the insurance would be invalidated it is a very real possibility.  Waste money on something else like having the electrical utility replace your house supply line back to the nearest pole with audiophile approved wire. It won't make any difference either but after spending thousands doing it I can almost guarantee that you'll think there is a big improvement.
