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?

"It's how the wire of the conductor is manufactured that determines it's sonic directionality".

"Obviously unless the cable manufacturer keeps track of the directionality of all wire the result will not be satisfactory".

"All wire is physically asymmetrical due to being pulled through the final die. That's what make (sic) the wire directional sonically".

"Make sense?'

To make sense, the maker of fuses claimed to be directional would have to have either:

1- Manufactured the wire used in his fuses (having control over the manufacturing would facilitate him keeping track of the directional properties of that wire. Do any of the audiophile fuse makers claim to manufacture the wire they use in their fuses?)

Or: 

2- Bought the wire they use in their fuses from a wire manufacturer who claims and guarantees directionality of the wire the fuse maker employs in his fuses.

If neither of the above two are claimed, how does the fuse maker determine the directionality of the wire he buys and uses in his tubes?

"Deny the possibility of phenomena for which no plausible explanations have been advanced".

No, I actually admit that possibility. But, if the above quotes are advanced as plausible explanations for the directionality of fuses, yet neither 1 nor 2 are the case, I fail to see how a fuse can be claimed to have been made with directional properties.

So there ARE (not shouting, but my 'puter doesn't offer italicization) bulk wire manufacturers (specifically the ones from whom the fuse makers claiming directionality get their wire) who offer direction-orientated wire, and indicate the "flow" direction of the wire on their spools? I don't suppose one such wire maker can be cited?
