I'm running two of pictured supplies in double mono configuration for my class AB amp. I have fried a resistor R1 on one of them during a mounting, probing hiccup. It's value is ~16k5 on a good board.
Question: what's the purpose of this resistor? Spliting the ground between two poles? Can it be replaced with more common 15K or 18k values?

Looks like a low value signal ground breaker resistor to signal ground, probably the 5 ohm resistor, is the burned resistor not readable? Photo? . Since you say you run dual mono, you have the other board to compare right?
