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?
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.

@tweak1 here’s the link to the GSS silver rod sets. https://www.goldenstatesilver.com/products/4-gauge-rod-sets |
@tweak1 yes I use a vise with pads to hold the rod, cut off with a hand grinder with a thin metal cut off disc. I finish the ends with a hand held knife sharpening belt sander with 220 grit. A fine blade hacksaw and fine file will work as well. |
