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

Bad idea.

The fuses are there to protect your equipment. 

Get a decent fuse in there. Ignore the statements from the highly educated cakyol about fuses and certainly do not pay heed to his justification of hardwiring your amp to the circuit breaker. Dumb, dumb, dumb… There are many here who re-fuse (see what I did there) to try and see if a better fuse does what they claim. Refuse to try because they don’t believe it. Not willing to try. Why? Because they just know… And then, if there is a sonic difference, they will come up with a mountain of other reasons why it sounds better. The same folks who can only accept a ruler flat system, with zero THD and infinite SNR. Because, that’s what the numbers say.

Sorry, what was the post about?

Right. A solid fuse. Bad idea.

This discussion is going round and round with neither of the parties agreeing on anything. This is because both sides are bringing preconceived notions to the table and refusing to see the other side.

I wish that the only person who is truly without bias regarding fuses was able to lend his expertise to this discussion. Yep, where is georgehifi when you need him?

I, for one, appreciate @cakyol perspectives and candor!  Much more so than @pesky_wabbit's trivial comments, which truly live up to his moniker.
