I am comfortable with the technical soundness (no pun intended) of placing a newfangled “breaker” in the signal path instead of the fuse.
So far, the sonic impact seems to be favorable.
These reminded me that I wanted to try these ones:

Oh that’s a nice cheap option. I ended up trying as power plug holders in rear of P20 but the base is too big, the plugs too close and the power input cord blocks two columns of receptacles.
I ended up using them as speaker wire holders. Did not need the tall add ons.
So you actually remove the fuse and insert the slug thingy in its place ??
Correct.
to quote you: “Too risky for my liking.”
I’m sure you will hear some horror stories coming out from owners with sub-par electrical protection.
I wonder if the power cord between the wall and the box matters. If it does it becomes a pricy alternative for me because I am a sucker for expensive cables. A Master fuse suddenly looks reasonable now. ![]()
Only issue I see with this is down the road, when selling the gear, someone might forget to get the copper bar? out and put back the fuse.
I would like to encourage you to do some research on the product if you are interested.
As far as I can tell, there is nothing inherently (operationally) inferior about the “digital breaker” (my term) approach to breaking the circuit when necessary that would make it a “sub-par” system for protecting against the kind of fault that fuses are designed to address.
FWIW.
I went with a bunch of these:
Very well made and stable
I really need to get a 3D printer. I have a zillion ideas.
Looks like an “Apocalypt” turntable.
Room support continues to be abysmal
I posted an issue for support and took about 2 weeks to get a response.
I tried their initial trouble shooting suggestion which did not solve the problem
I immediately communicated this and now, I guess, I wait another 2 weeks for the next step
Blows my mind you can send over $2000 on a nucleus and this is what you get for support
I’ve done better accepting this over the years but from time it still blows my mind
My little DIY project was done a few weeks ago. The industrial damping feet work very well, but the turntable now sits on 4 springs cannibalised from a pair of Townshend bars. They were spare as I had to put stronger springs in the bars, used for a subwoofer. The tuntable actually bounces, but comes to rest after about 2 seconds and has remained dead level. I doubled the thickness of the top after @jazznut noticed a slight bend.
Pretty.
Thanks, to be honest the main reason for this was to put some distance between the phono stage and everything else. I’ve had the RCM for a year now - love it - but very sensitive to noise. It would have been easier just to wrap it in lead sheet from a roofing store, but that was too obvious.
Another great product for eliminating vibration and some electrical noise is Dodo Dead Mat. I have a box of the stuff. Very effective, but shiny.
Very nice setup!
It still looks very nice!
I just dare to say, to place a turntable on a base that’s a) high from the floor and b) on a construction out of 6 horizontal and 2 or 3 vertical sound wave sensible planes (compared to what we usually plan for a turntable base), and c) in a kind of small corner, probably sensible to some bass sound waves, is at least less optimal for high listening levels
But in practice the importance of such basics varies.
