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.

Good Morning

Quick adder here in that my first shipment of what I think it "best to date" Sluggos will arrive next week

Tellurium Copper with Rhodium Plating is now done and on the way.

Not terribly expensive and delivering on all aspects I’m looking for

Feel free to e-mail me - might be a day or so - but I promise a reply

tksteingraber:  so, to use the SFB, you need an extra power cord?  Do you think this could be causing the slight reduction in fidelity or the box itself?   Will you be trying the rhodium sluggo when available?  With the holiday causing a back up in work, the CNC machine shop won't be done with my molybdenum and tungsten slugs until late next week!!  That should exacerbate my audiophile neurosis even further.   

@lcherepkai Neurosis 🤣 that it is!  Yes I told Mark I was interested in his new Rhodium sluggo.  Not sure if the pigtail cord or box causes a slight change.  Might be break-in or just me.  Some folks feel the silver is a little extended on the edges but for my system and ears I like the silver.  We all have our sound preferences.

Good Morning

I DO HAVE higher level Piggies in the works - but frankly in my system what I have now (Piggy) seems to work really well.                 

New Sluggo - just awesome IMHO...

Protection is important as a vendor - but I know others are not worrying about this -

Cool in any event 

 

Thanks

 

Mark. How would one get one of these new sluggos as I just ordered your Black Friday special and this is coming with the Copper Gold Sluggo, the best to date from a week ago?
