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?

"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."

Chances are good any customers who know you doesn’t wish to irritate you by bringing up fuse 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."

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?  


I touched that partially and seen prohibition similarity.
I do speak direct language -- you, Geoff and probably many, don’t.

Things labelled "audiophile" seem to most often be called that to get the attention of audiophiles who are likely the only ones to care enough about whatever it is being pitched for better sound.  

If these products are truly so great, especially for the bargain audiophile price of only $100 or so,   Why don't any others care?

Just pondering out loud.  
Point of fact is they seem to get the attention of non audiophiles and pseudo audiophiles more often.

Hey, did you hear that Phil Collins is making a record for the first time in a long time?  He's back in the Stu-stu-studio.
