It sounds like you went from a ceramic fuse to a glass one. I’m not one for the exotic audiophile fuses, but I did swap out the glass fuses in my B&K EX-442 Sonata for everyday, "standard" ceramic fuses just to see for myself if I could detect a difference. I did the same with my Hafler DH-220.
In fact I DID hear noticeable differences (in both amps, for the better, in each). Earth shaking? No. But it sounded as if the ceramic cleaned up the sound just a shade. I also replaced the stock glass fuses in my MMGs to no ill effect, until I replaced those ceramic fuses with sterling silver tubing. YMMV.
