So, the parts came in and the install commenced. They are a major improvement in their ability to adjust + & - current to "0" without fluctuating up and down a few tenths or hundredths.

One of them still doesn't want to "0" out so Phil is going to start tracing back through some parts he didn't test. He believes that that are going to be a couple of weak resistors to replace.

I again, told him I was sorry for the problems the amp was giving him. His response, again was.
No, its fine. I love figuring these things out.

Says the guy that woke up at 2:24AM Thursday and was thinking about the amps. He got up and installed all of the new parts he had prepped for, went back to bed at 5:45 and fell asleep till 10AM.

Another learning session for me. I asked him "Is it detrimental to the amps if that one doesn't "0" out?" He said no, but.

Think of the wave the electricity as it makes sweep from + to - up and down.
If it is not able to zero out then it will cut off the top or bottom of the wave depending whether it is the + or - that is not zeroed out.
As the wave is cut off so are the dynamics of current, hence, the dynamics of the sound you hear.

I have learned a lot. I just don't have the ability to apply it. That is what the professionals are for.
