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?

"Another consideration regarding directionality. A fuse which is properly specified for the circuit is half way toward melting."

How so, Thom? If that’s actually true, what is the relationship of being "half way toward melting" to directionality? Just curious.

How about if someone cares enough at this point to worry about the direction of their fuses just let them try it and live happily ever after whichever way it works out.    That would be a lot more practical.   Or just listen to Geoffkait and be miserable knowing 50% on average of teh stuff in your audio circuits are installed the wrong way.  

Happy listening....

" Apparently no thread is too "old" for you to over post. "

You sound like a parrot on that one already too!!!

Rather how about stop spouting useless nonsense repeatedly here for free, buy some paid advertising and all can live happily ever after.

I believe that OP was just joking and perhaps laughing his AO, but Machina Dynamica takes it VERY SERIOUSLY LOL!
Rock on Geoff, Fly your thoughts free.
Peace brother!

You believe the OP was joking?  I see an English refresh course in your future.  Keep an open mind but not so open your brain falls out.  Things a little slow at Pizza Hut, hippy dude?
