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?

Speaking of amplifiers, assuming for the sake of argument that all wire is directional, imagine how much better Amplifier A would be if all internal wiring was connected with directionality in mind.  Point to point wiring, transformer wiring, capacitors, resistors, etc. And of course all cabling coming into and leaving the amplifier.

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.
So far all the comments we have received on boutique fuses have been positive. However for all those comments, not one of them has mentioned anything about directionality.  The feedback we have goes back about to about 2006 or so when the fuses seemed to move from the automotive stereo community to high end audio. 
If anyone looks at machina dynamica product lineup, one should understand that their products relate to audio the same way the fuse directionality does.

That looks like purchase from BB&B + story how it works = 20x profit.

For some fools works...

Math can solve most of science problems indeed.

Chances are good any customers who know you doesn’t wish to irritate you by bringing up fuse directionality. ;-)

Autmotive stereo community? Say what?! Exotic fuses were introduced twenty years ago by Isoclean (Japan) and HiFi Tuning (Germany) to the high end audio community. Hel-loo!

Czarivey, you appear to be approximately two paradigm shifts behind the power curve, if you don't mind my saying so too much.  Did you perchance miss out on the whole Perestroyka thing?
