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?

Reincarnation apparently is a thing. And a good one.

I tested a pile of SR fuses years ago and noted the results here. They’re dangerous (rated wrong at times so they blow, leading to suggestions that you should use a higher rating than the gear called for...wow) and useless nonsense. Some have claimed their system sounds "out of phase" when the proper fuse direction is wrong or bloviated about how astonishingly fabulous the fuses "sound." Hey, it’s a FUSE... Why haven’t they caught on among manufacturers or most of everybody else? Hmmm...I recently bought a Pass XA25 and called Pass Labs to ask some dumb question and wound up having a great conversation with ’em, but really...I suggest you call Pass and ask about fuses...let us know what they say... please...

It's an audio forum...

People don't want to give up on their fuses and assorted other quantum kniffle frequency boosters.

Atmasphere and other legit manufacturers who post here will always get pushback from the other "experts."

mitchb- hopefully YOU KNEW a thread like this won't go well. 

Fuse away!
