I have a small coil in the resistor spot. I forget what the coil is called, but it is a tweak mentioned over at A.A. planar speaker asylum at some point.
It is a small wirewound coil. IMO better than a 1 ohm fuse.
Anyway, I had aftermarket fuses too. a few years ago I bypassed them with bits of wire from the outside.
Now I went inside.
I have to say I would not claim any difference unless I can prove to myself it is different... but yes I heard something I never noticed before on a CD I know pretty well. "The Indestrutible Beat of Soweto"
On one of the tracks I can hear (and never heard before enough to know what it was) pieces of metal being clanked together. This sound is well in the background, but now I can recognize it clearly.
This is one of those things that shows yeah something has been altered for the better.
It is a sound I would have remembered it was there if I could have recognized it before. (I have listened to this CD more than several dozen times..) Now maybe I heard something, but no way could I recognized WHAT it was. now it is clear what it is.
So the removal of the fuse matters to my ears. SUCCESS.
