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?

An there's the rub. You THOUGHT, but not quite long enough. It's ok you are the very first one to ever say that. If you keep walking you will fall off the edge.

I really thought this forum after all these years had finally turned the corner. It's stereo equipment. We (mechanics) put them in the dash of vehicles and install generators as big as a pickup truck to power 400 stereos as CES. I work the shows that supply the power for the equipment. DC? That is just one side of most heavy equipment.. 

Mechanics PLAY with stereo equipment. I can honestly say, most first year apprentices have enough skill to be a very good stereo repair person. He/she only has 3 more years to Journeyman (to be a mechanic), one more for Aviation or Marine and then 2 more for his masters.

DC is HARD it stumps more people than you think... Most AC guys haven't got a clue with marine electric. AC/DC.

Most mechanics I know were building amps as kids and cars as teens.

BTW it does the Cha Cha 50 OR 60 times per second. You stand still when you dance? That must look weird. :-) The Conga line MOVES forward and then back, just like AC, always towards the source.

AC on the outside, DC on the inside. That was a tough one to learn..

Even crazy GeoffKait new that...
@helmholtzsoul, My man! Lol!

I understand you brother. As I know a bunch, and I do mean a bunch of Powerplant and Avionics Journeymen [master craftsmen (and women)] who work in the Aeronautical industry who were once called ’mechanics’. And these professionals fabricate everything on a rocket or a plane. Has anyone ever heard of Pratt & Whitney, Rolls Royce, Boeing?

Where I sit, mechanics of nowadays are more akin to surgeons than the stereotype of what a mechanic looks like and may be to some..

And to my naysayers and especially to the monitors here on Agon who showed me that it’s ok to debate here in a respectful like manner. How do you like me now?

Speaking of geoffkait, I think he's back? There's a @geoffkait20f6 and he sounds like geoffkait cause he just happened to mention NASA grade ceramic of DH Cones, speaking of Aeronautical Engineering? geoffkait is that you?

So you fusers: the red fuse or the blue fuse. Which sounds better? ... and the ones that Mother gives you don't do anything at all ... Go ask Alice ...

In the educational information about purple fuses, Ted does say something about its mind bending properties.

I’ll let that one go through to the wicket keeper.

Fuser? George is wearing glasses again. It is bright down under. I know rectifier valves are not in the signal path so they can't affect the sound. OK!! You win..

You're smarter than me.. 

Now time to get ready for work.

BTW oldhvymec sends his LOVE to all. He say's it is COLD and WET. The Fins are ready and so is the crew. He found a rabbit of all things, of course he's trying to figure how to get it home.. They EAT rabbits over there, A LOT.. I don't know how that is going work out if someone eats his rabbit. WWIV the heck with WWIII. :-)
