Sansui AU-20000 Question

This what I had in mind, Mouser #603-SQP500JB-0R47, Metal Oxide Resistor, 5W, 0.47 Ohm, 5%. Price is under $1 in quantity. Should I consider a more precision type? Testing with my LCR meter, I am currently reading 0.472 to .0.478 ohms, on 3 samples and resistors mounted.
 
Those might be a bit better matched, (being new), but they are no better than the originals otherwise.

I used 'Mills' resistors in one of my restorations (not an AU-20000), they were 'spendy' :)

I just checked - £8.47 each :yikes: - they used to be a lot cheaper.

Yes I see what you mean. Precision at 1% comes at a steep cost. Quick search did not show Mills as stock at Digikey or Mouser, however I did find a Vishay Dale equivalent for under $6 in quantity. May be an option as I will save on not replacing the outputs. Thanks again for the advice.
