SR Fuse Orientation MW Sony 5400

I have tested one RED fuse and also had about 5-10 different SR20 fuses in both small and large sizes.  They are all directional based on the printed letters.  Others in other forums have also commented on this.  You can experiment.  Sometimes people like the opposite direction better, but in my opinion that direction will lose midrange/midbass punch.  The sound might be a little airier but it will also sound weaker.

Synergistic Research actually used to claim their SR-20 fuses were not directional since they were subjected to the Telsa treatment in both directions, which supposedly made them non directional. That is according to a Norm Lutweg review in Stereo Times. Dunno what SR claims in terms of directionality for Red and Black fuses. But to the point, if SR didn’t believe their SR-20 fuses were directional they wouldn’t have paid any attention to the writing or symbols on the fuse, yes? Therefore, the writing or symbols on that particular fuse, at a minimum, is most likely random with respect to directionality.

Can one of you fine folks tell me what size and rating of fuse(s)  the 5400ES takes? Got one coming on Monday and wanted to round up some SR Black fuses for it.

Thanks for your help.

Two small 800 Ma fuses

Thanks wig.  May not come up with 800ma right way.  Would 1 amp cause any problems or offer any benefits?

I appreciate your guidance,
Dave
