All things said I do like and agree with firstonetalgull As audio enthusiasts and tweekers we continue the search for the best sound possible no matter the amount of work involved or risk to the equipment. Yes unfortunately I do understand that and have done it too many times. But then I always figured I could repair it myself, well usually anyway. And yes I do find it interesting figuring out the sound quality differences in metals, electronic parts, etc. But not using a good fuse is one I’d rather not play with as I don’t want to go transformer hunting for my old tube equipment which is modded to the hilt. Also they’re not available unless I find someone selling a full old amp that I want to buy for stripping. But yes I do understand the search for the best sound.
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.

The Swiss Fuse Box with its slugs works great! The music becomes stronger and more effortless. Afterall, we spend all kinds of money on thick power cords, cables etc. only for the power to be restricted by a thin wire inside a fuse. The Swiss Fuse Box by-passes that and protects your equipment. Highly recommended! ozzy |

@carlsbad2 Well I do and I love it. Now I think I may give a SDB a try. based on few reviews here.
