Is there a solid fuse-like item that I can use in place of a fuse, to bypass it?

@fai_v I don’t know what type of device you are looking to bypass the fuse in. But I can tell you from experience that if you have Magnepan speakers and want to bypass the fuse with Mike Powell’s silver tube upgrade, it is safe. Just be sure when turnng your system on and off that the preamp is turned all the way down and the power amps are turned off first. 

To fuse, or not to fuse, that is not a question, NO.  A fuse by any other name is still a fuse, Yes.

Why do you want to do that ?

Do you want to give your insurance company an excuse not to pay you if your equipment starts a fire, albeit a small chance ?

Besides, contrary to almost everyone who think they can hear better than a dog and believe that a fuse changes the sound, the claim is snake oil, it has absolutely no effect on the sound. So, by bypassing it, you will not actually improve anything.

INCREDIBLY STUPID BY OP.

The fuse is there to protect your equipment, your home, your family and you from being burnt to death if the equipment fails or there is a surge on the line.

Not the first time this idiotic proposal has turned up here.

Get some school physics for God's sake.

And don't believe all this fuse nonsense.

If you insist on going ahead form a fuse shaped bar from solid copper, insert and stand back.  If you want the best sound quality you need to use gold instead of copper.
