And for all the others, once again just NEEDING to tell me how incredibly stupid I am for bypassing the fuses to use slugs, let me ask you this, which do you think is more dangerous and likely to actually cause harm; listening to my stereo without fuses to protect the components, all plugged into an Equi-Core 1800 with its circuit breaker ready to kick out in things get too hinky or getting in your car and going for a drive? If we go back the 35 years I've been driving, I've been in 5 minor accidents and 2 of those were due to deer (natures stupidest creature). During that same time, I think I've blown 3 fuses, 2 of those in a big SET tube amp which I would never consider using slugs with. The other was in an early Threshold Stasis 2 amp, which was over 20 yrs old when I got it.
I'm not terribly concerned about going for a drive. I've been doing deliveries for the last 20+ yrs. I'm even less concerned about using my stereo sans fuses. But thanks for the concern
