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?

You could measure it with a voltmeter.

bo1972 " ... Audio has become a monopolistic world, this makes people sceptical, it is understandable."

You must be joking. There's never been more high quality choices available to audiophiles than there are today. I realize that you think that "over 95% of all products in audio shops are not worth the money," but obviously there are many who don't agree. It certainly is not a monopolistic market.

bo1972 "... Audio is not transparent, but it is controlled by brands and money. This is the main reason why people get a low level in quality."


Actually, the audio world functions quite well as an open market. Wall Street should be so transparent! Of course, this may not be convenient for dealers such as bo1972, who want to promote some supposedly proprietary expertise.
