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?

These guys are shilling, with this voodoo stuff to suck in the gullible, who have no idea about AC (alternating current) mains theory.

They are relying on "expectation bias" (+1 Ralph) with the gullible not to send the 10c fuses back for their $100 refund.

Even if 50% are sent back, that a hell of a profit still, then that 50% gets resold, not even as used stock, eventually all are sold, with a massive profit margin in the end.

Quick way to make a fast million with very little outlay, probably even better than getting in on the ground floor of Apple shares.

Cheers George

As the great Bill Withers saaeys "if it feels this good getting used then come on and . . . . "  I am sure you get the idea my man. Maybe not, but I think Bill says it all.

My synergistic red fuses are amazing. I want a black one for my r2r ladder dac or sigma delta, or maybe it is another type, I just don't know for sure. I think I don't care really. You know as Bill says.

I made a reply to say how big the % is of all the products in audio shops what is not worth the money. But they removed it.

Audio has become a monopolistic world, this makes people sceptical, it is understandable.

My clients can send anything back when they would not be statisfied. And get back 100%. 50% back? What kind of world do you live in?

Oregonpapa,

I have been doing this for a long time too. I will not presume to tell you what you hear, no more than you can tell me what I hear, or don’t hear.

Comparing whether one believes in the sonic improvement of a fuse with whether one believes in God is the type of thing that stirs the pot here. Particularly when you say,
And why you naysayers rail with so much negativity
I don’t think you will find "so much negativity" in my posts, just a challenge to those who hear such an improvement to really try it for yourselves in a controlled manner.....maybe you have already done that but I have not yet seen a post here from anyone who has. Geoff’s immediate response about controlled blind testing rearing "it’s ugly head" the "Amazing Randi" and trying to "scare the fuse affectionados into submission" is as negative as anything I posted. Even so, I find Geoff’s posts semi-humorous and consider our back and forth to be friendly banter. To proclaim that all who do not believe in the transformational effects of an audiophile fuse are "railing with negativity" is both not accurate and not helpful.

You must be joking. There's never been more high quality choices available to audiophiles than there are today. I realize that you think that "over 95% of all products in audio shops are not worth the money," but obviously there are many who don't agree. It certainly is not a monopolistic market.
