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?

Note the quotation marks around "many." How telling. There isn't even any actual evidence that SR "quantum tunnels" (man…nice choice of terms there SR, as not only does it not make sense, it sounds great!) anything with their silly claims of having their Chinese factory treat this tiny wire with "2,000,000 volts" of unobtainable juice, any rational explanation of why they would do this, or why the ratings on the fuses is apparently dangerously incorrect ("buy the higher rating just to be sure it works" has actually been suggested by the promoters of what is essentially a safety device). People's imagined claims that these fuses do something and then do it better reversed should be regarded as the weirdly imagined nonsense that it is, and the rabid promotion of these products by a few zealots is a shameful fraud. Buy a reliable Littlefuse and save the 100 bucks for some sandwiches…you'll feel like everything sounds much better...

+1 Wolf, pure voodoo.

And as Ralph say, it's "expectation bias", and that's all anyone gets for $100, except the seller, he's laughing all the way to the bank.

Reading all these INSANE claims about audiophile fuses / directional fuses has convinced me that I'm in the wrong business. I could literally be getting fused knocked-up in some Chinese factory for a few cents each and sell them to the gullible "audiophiles" for $30 each. And you know what, while it would be a complete bunch of snake oil, the crazy audiophiles would be happy with their black & gold colored fuses, their brains would somehow hear a difference, and we'd all be happy. So, I COULD actually live with myself/sleep at night!

Never a truer word said, also AC is Alternating Current, which changes 60 x a second, or 50 down here in Au.

Don't even think about all those cheap stock fuses and interconnects, half of which were installed backwards, on the way from the performer to the recording if you ever want to sleep at night!
