| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please I'm really not fond of the copper slugs at all. I thought them an improvement over the stock fuses but it's the silver and surprisingly, titanium slugs that really transformed my system. A quick story about this: my amp is a Red Dragon S-500. ... | |
| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please 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 withou... | |
| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please Thank you carlsbad2 and tksteingraber for not being alarmists. I purchased the titanium rod when I bought my copper rod from McMaster-Carr, both for under $20 shipped and only another $30 for the machine shop to cut them down to 20mm lengths. T... | |
| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please Hey Jerry. Did you try out those titanium slugs I sent you yet? I'm talking with a manufacturer now about getting tungsten stock. I'm trying to not have to purchase a whole foot of it though. Thanks | |
| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please mikelavigne: that sounds incredible!! I'd love to be able to do such but, as a renter, that's out of the question and probably nothing I could afford either. One of the great things about experimenting with slugs is the relatively low cost. I ... | |
| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please erik_squired: no, that was rude of me and that is not my intention. But I did request these kinds of comments not be included. We all know that this can be dangerous, bypassing the component fuses, and, as adults, we will make our own decisions... | |
| Anyone else using slugs instead of fuses? Comments on metals used and sound please larryi---your suggestion does make the most sense, but I am having fun hearing the differences in the sounds the slugs produce. Honestly, I'm shocked at how much detail and how precisely in space titanium places individual sounds. There can be a... | |
| Question about suitable fuse metals verafiaudio: that's definitely something to consider although I'm really not wanting to spend the money on the system at the moment and why the $50 bucks spent on 14 slugs seems like such an insane bargain. I'll keep the SDFB in mind. Thank you... | |
| Question about suitable fuse metals orthomead: I looked at the Swiss digital fuse box. It would be the best/wisest choice. Does it require a power cord to the unit and then another running from the fuse box to the component? | |
| Question about suitable fuse metals larryi : I'm certainly down with that possibility. How would I go about completely bypassing the fuse holder? wolf_garcia: I'm not selling anything here. I don't stand to gain by convincing you or anyone else that replacing the stock fuses... | |
| Question about suitable fuse metals You guys act like audio equipment is this huge household fire risk, that it could go up at any time with disasterous results. I've not see it before nor since I gave up my tubed equipment. I'm not saying it's 100% safe but, what is? And I can r... | |
| Question about suitable fuse metals Yes, the slugs were the cause of the very significant improvement in sound as that's the only variable that's changed and I've literally listened late at night THOUSANDS of times and I've not heard this precision of sound, in my systems, ever bef... | |
| Question about suitable fuse metals I've been using the copper slug in a Red Dragon S-500 and a titanium slug in a Bel Canto DAC 2.8 for 4 days now, perhaps up to 6 hrs per day and the sound has really transformed. Initially, the sound with the slugs in place of the stock fuses was... | |
| Question about suitable fuse metals tksteingraber: Happy to be a fellow sluggo, thank you very much! Any chance you've heard slugs of any other material than copper? I was also considering chemically pure tungsten from McMaster Carr. I recall Bogdan Audio's Toto interconnect wa... | |
| Question about suitable fuse metals jasonbourne71: I'll look into silver slugs. Not too sure I want to splurge for a solid silver rod but I'll look into it. And the titanium actually sounds quite good. The subtle inner detail is easier to follow without any brightness. I know y... |
