10% of what?

In Tremain's Audio Encyclopedia there is a graph for IMD vs DC imbalance
between primary halves.
So where you have 45mA in one tube, and 55mA in the other, then you have a
20% imbalance,
since 10mA more Ia flows in one of the tubes compared to the other.

Thanks. Could have meant anything.

cheers, Ian
