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?

I really don't understand why anybody would bother to say that fuse direction doesn't matter. None of us who do hear a difference care what you think. And you, of course, don't care what we think. For about thirty years I heard this nonsense argument. Enough!!!

Newton’s First Law (Inertia): an object will continue along in the same direction at the same speed unless acted on by an outside force.

F = 0

dv/dt = 0

In terms of Newton's Inertia law with applied theory of limits:
If consumed lots of calories of bs per second, i agree it’s very hard to get rid of those calories. Under Inertia law one will continue consuming bs even if no external force is applied.

Apparently somebody's been consuming a lot of Bunnahabhain Scotch (bs).

Geoff,

We’re in agreement that a shielded interconnect presents two variables which are potentially at odds with each other - the recommended directionality based on the which end the shield is grounded to vs. the grain orientation of the wire.

In bringing up shielded interconnects, I saw no mention of them earlier in this thread. It’s entirely possible my mind was numbed from reading it. I’ll take that as a hint that it’s potentially making me stupid and I’ll get back to my amplifier project before further damage ensues.
