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?

May I suggest something that might help?

Wipe both ends of the fuses before placing them all in the devices in the same way (i.e. writing left to right, or otherwise, your choice). Secure them in place, switch on the device and play the music. Thereafter I strongly suggest you let the fuses be.

IF you feel the need to experiment give it at least two mins operating time before changing.

(I was given designer fuses and installed them in my DAC & phono. They work very well, no audible differences though.)
