Hi Vic, and fellow amp'ers!
It would be interesting to see what the line voltage drop is
with the amp keyed, with the S.S. relays bypassed and
connected. Somehow, it seems to me, that your input current
requirement has increased through losses in your new primary
wiring or through the relays themselves.
Keep us posted on your findings.
