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?

Seeing this directional fuse c**p is down to internal component level GK, you should take it over the "Tech Talk " forum, where the the tech heads will definitely tell you which way to insert it.

Cheers George

Can we all agree that this scarecrow pretty much sums this thread up?

I get it.  Scarecrow.  Strawman.  Yup, that pretty much sums it up.

Naw, it was to imply that there's no real answer here that can be agreed upon.

However, there's this yellow bricked road that leads to a wizard......

Let’s just write the whole thing off as another one of those controversial things that get audiophiles’ goat. If someone didn’t come along many years after Einstein published his General relativity theory and demonstrate that gravity bends light the science community would still be scratching it’s rather pointed head and muttering the same thing, "There is no real answer that can be agreed upon." Not to mention LIGO finally observed gravity waves from a merger of two monster black holes just a couple months ago, confirming Einstein's prediction - 100 years after the fact.
