Fuse Direction for Pass Labs Amp and Preamp

I am going to re fuse my Pass X250.8 and XP-32 with Synergistic Research purple fuses in a couple of days. I was hoping to get advice on a rule of thumb for direction of the fuses. My instinct tells me to start by installing the fuse by the direction of the lettering on the fuses. I am thinking that the direction should be the lettering left to right with the beginning of the lettering facing out of the amp and the end of the lettering facing into the amp. Does this sound right?

@mitchb : I see you have drunk the fuser Kool Aid! How can you believe this nonsense that a small piece of wire - which does not carry a music signal - can somehow change the character of a component - and cost hundreds! Enlighten me!

Ditto for power cables, with two exceptions. They can supply the needed current and the quality of shielding that encases the cable to contain mains noise.

@pdreher - I'm not sure what your experience is with My Pillow, but I like mine.  I'd recommend that you try one, but will warn you that they are somewhat directional like most pillows are after an extended break-in period.  Yellow fill is my reference.

I tried these purple and orange fuses and ended up sending those snake fuses back. Lord I love return privileges.

So @nonoise when you sticking one of these fuses in your Technique Inergrated .
