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?

I kind of found it amusing, but mostly just lost interest quickly and couldn’t force myself to read the whole thing.

Does that make me a bad person?

I’m sure some will find it fascinating. Everyone loves a good mystery.

I know, but I think this fuse business belongs with the green CD marker and the $650 wood volume knob. Anyway, the electricity flows from the transformer and caps, toward the output transistors.

It's really more aphilosophical question at this point.  

If one hears it is it real?   And what % is due to s fuse?   

Inquiring minds want to know. 🤑

Build it and they will come.
