I have a Xangsane solid pure silver ‘fuse’ (a solid sluggo) I bought to do the same test against my Masterpiece M1 fuse in my DAC. But only as a time limited test / proof of concept as here in NZ (like much of the world) we don’t have fuses in power cables, just in components. Must get around to doing this and report back.

Will be interesting to see how you get on with that comparison. On the likes of UK eBay, it's much easier to find Sterling (925) Silver rods than high purity (9999) silver rods. Sterling silver is much cheaper and less conductive (a bit below copper). But as my tests show, simple conductivity levels don't necessarily predict what will sound best.

Silver also oxidizes with time, although this apparently doesn't impact conductivity as it does for copper. So many variables involved in such comparisons...
