Ya puts the fuse on a perfectly level surface plate, then flick one end with the nail of your right index figure. If it flies off the surface plate and breaks on the floor, you've got a bad fuse. Better luck next time. If it stays on the surface plate, select the end of the fuse that is pointing away from you and stick it in first. I won't insult you by telling you where to stick it.
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?
