To Fuse or Not to Fuse... That is the question!

Lots of comments, but no answers! Does Hot wiring/bypassing/direct-connecting/ or using a copper or silver wire Instead of a fuse, make the sound better? 

I may be in the near future buying copper tubing and installing it in place of a fuse, just to hear the differences. And, just for fun I might just flip a few to hear if there are any sound differences.... with proper burn-in of course!

Years ago Shunyata offered a solid copper slug to use in place of a fuse. I wonder how that compares?
BTW, I have all the SR blue fuses, before that blacks, before that reds, before that others.

@captaindidactic- Read almarg’s response. "Better" will always be in the eyes/ears of the beholder/listener. Subjectivity/individual taste reigns! You won’t know what you’ll like, "better", until you try it for yourself. But, DO experiment(and have fun)!

Two answers.

One: depends. Depends on the wire. Depends on the fuse. Having compared, I can say for sure you will have a very hard time finding a wire or slug or anything else to sound as good as a Blue Quantum Fuse. Let alone Orange, which is a lot better.

Second answer: Depends. Depends, mostly, on your ears.

Some like the above georgehifi, apparently have really poor hearing. Or maybe never even tried? Because its pretty damn obvious one way sounds better than the other. To me, anyway. I am not in any way getting into an argument with anyone about how awful their listening "skills" are. If they say they can't hear, I take them at their word.
