Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses.

There are 4 fuses in my Odyssey Stratos amp. I recently returned some AMR fuses because they rolled off the highs and lows a little too much for me. Mids were excellent though. Anyway, I'm getting ready to try the Hi-Fi Tuning Classic Gold fuses, as they are on clearance now for $10/ea. Are they any good? However, I have read that they are a directional fuse? Can anyone confirm this? If that is the case, does anyone know the current flow for the Odyssey Stratos? Or, does anyone know how figure out current flow by opening up the top and looking at the circuitry?

If its a contest between how many useful things I learn about from Almarg as opposed to geoffkait,  guess who wins?

You guessed it.   Perhaps the most one sided landslide victory in human history.  

But that's just my opinion of course....

Georges is in attack mode.  LOL!!!

mlsstl641 posts04-13-2016 10:27pmI find it ironic the extremes to which admitted subjective audiophiles will go in order to to claim that their perceptions are due to anything but subjectivity. That’s classic -- apparently subjective audiophiles are embarrassed by their subjectivity. Hence the need to concoct exotic harebrained technical explanations in an attempt to justify and explain what they hear. 
I use audiophile fuses and can hear different directions.  I'm NOT embarrassed, SUNSHINE!   What's to embarrassed??    The only explanation I need is trust my sense of hearing.

I can probably speak for most members participating in the Synergistic Red Fuse thread too,  SUNSHINE.

To Atmosphere:

As a long time manufacturer of amplifiers and pre- amplifiers I hope you will share in detail the feedback your customers have conveyed to you concerning which fuses improved the sound and which did not. 

I think this information would be especially useful to the OTL community to which you and I belong. My amp is an Eddie Current Zana Deux - tube based , as are your OTL products. Your providing this information does not constitute a manufacturer's endorsement.
