I know about the safety and all, but I picked up a length of 1/4" 101 OFC solid copper rod.
Fuses and their holders are definately weak links in any audio component.
I've been using the slug in my original Hydra since new, for 4 years, with no ill effects what so ever.
Now, don't nobody come jumping in on my butt about how wrong, unsafe or illegal this is,
I already know.
Folks have done this with Maggie speakers and other equipment as well for many years.
Anytime I do an interconnect or speaker cable change or move, system gets shut down and un-plugged from the wall to settle and cool.
Use at your own risk, if in any doubt, replace fuses with equal value and forget about bypassing entirely.
