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?

@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 .

Op...you really need to try one fuse at a time.  Otherwise, you won't know which component sounds good or bad.  My beef with SR is that they don't tell you the direction.  With QSA fuses they do.  I have all QSA yellow fuses in my system.

I'd say have your significant other (if you have one) or friend install the fuse(s) so that you can't see them, play your favorite tune, then have the same person (for continuity) reverse it, again without you seeing it, play the same tune and realize there is no difference and you wasted your money.
