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?

I don't see what hardwiring your power amp into a junction box in the wall is such a bad idea? Commercial / industrial equipment often does this. Especially the monster solid state amps that need their own dedicated 20 amp circuits. In fact, why not make those amps 240 volts & then they would draw a lot less current too.  The units could come w/ a heavy duty pigtail wire connected w/ your specified length & have your electrician hardwire it if you don't feel comfortable doing so yourself. When you spend $50 - $100K or more on an amp, what's the big deal? 

This would alleviate two different connection points (wall outlet & amp plug) & would have to affect the sound quality as most everything does in a high end system.

That is actually a great idea.  As long as the amp is not a class A amp, it can be permanently left on as well, which will avoid inrush current damage, in case the amp is not protected against it.
