Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please


I recently began experimenting with slugs in place of fuses on most of my components and the results have been VERY rewarding. I'll write up a full review eventually but am awaiting possible different metal slugs in the near future.  I started with copper and the improvement from stock fuses to the copper slugs was quite noticeable but, honestly, nothing compared to the upgrade from copper to solid silver slugs from Golden State Silver and, shockingly, titanium slugs.  Can anyone comment on their DIRECT experience(s) with slugs other than copper?   I'm looking into tungsten and possibly molybdenum presently.  I'd love to try platinum or palladium but that's probably beyond my reach.  AND PLEASE, THERE'S NO NEED TO COMMENT ON HOW FOOLISH IT IS TO BYPASS THE FUSE WITH SLUGS-----WE ALREADY KNOW---YOU'VE TOLD US EXHAUSTIVELY.

Bypass the fuse holder entirely by connecting together the two leads going into it; better yet, replace the two lead wires with a single wire to eliminate the joint where the fuse holder used to be.  Drive yourself crazy experimenting with different wire for this purpose.

There are a million ways to enjoy tinkering in this hobby and this is the exact worst way to do it.

I strongly suggest you stop this and get a kit of something and go build it, find another place to experiment that doesn't put you and other readers in danger.

Mike Powell’s silver slugs and jumpers were awesome in my Magnepans...
