There are several counties where it would be illegal were a manufacturer to supply equipment without a certificated fuse installed.
Of course once they have done so its down to the purchaser as all bets are then off.
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?

@cakyol , Again, like every time this has come up (just check out the threads folks) you miss the point you make quite intentionally. The amount of corrosion you speak of would be a ridiculous amount to do what you say it will. Again, not the point I was making. To say a fuse has no effect on the sound and if it did, it's due to a worsening of conductivity, then please explain how a fuse that works the same as a bog standard one, made of better and purer metals, couldn't conduct better. Designers never looked past the conventional wisdom that all a fuse is good for is protection so they use the cheapest crap they can find, made of very poorly conductive properties. Anyone here knows that no fuse gives one the best sound possible. Amp designers (it's out there folks...you look it up) has related how an amp they designed that sounded wonderful, ending up sounding worse once they implemented the fuse for production. I believe that Ralph, a wonderful amp designer who posts here, doesn't use fuse protection and uses circuit breakers in his designs, which is one way of getting around the "sound" of a fuse. This discussion has been going on for decades and your side never seems to get it and gets their kicks on forums like this for questionable reasons. All the best, |
