Determining current flow to install "audiophile" fuses.


There are 4 fuses in my Odyssey Stratos amp. I recently returned some AMR fuses because they rolled off the highs and lows a little too much for me. Mids were excellent though. Anyway, I'm getting ready to try the Hi-Fi Tuning Classic Gold fuses, as they are on clearance now for $10/ea. Are they any good? However, I have read that they are a directional fuse? Can anyone confirm this? If that is the case, does anyone know the current flow for the Odyssey Stratos? Or, does anyone know how figure out current flow by opening up the top and looking at the circuitry?

I have observed Audiogon forums with great interest for some time, but have never been motivated to participate until now.  Although skeptical, I remain open-minded re. fuses, having never tried them.

When I was young, my dad offered up many pearls of wisdom.  For example, he often told me "if you had another brain it would be lonesome".  An astute observation as it turns out.  Once we had a dog that barked incessantly.  When I asked my dad why, he said "he just likes to hear his head roar."

There is much head roaring going on regarding fuse directionality.  You dogs know who you are.  Quite a pack!  Sorry I couldn't be more positive.  By the way, I would guess that these dogs bark loudly and carry a little stick.
