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.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the Swiss fuse box replace just the main power fuse?

I just googled it and yes that is all it does. I think Jerry and others are doing the same only with these slugs. I would not want to change any internal fuses with these types of bypasses, as those would be more critical in preventing a thermal event and costly repairs. 

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.

@jacobsdad2000 yes, that is all it does, replaces the main power fuse.  Most amps only have one fuse.  What other fuses are you thinking of?

 

@celtic66 I watched a couple of episodes of lost in space the other night.  The robot wan't even in them so I looked it up and the robot only says "Danger Will Robinson" once and that wasn't until the 3rd season.
