Influence of DC offset on bias


Hi everyone. I'm usually an observer here and hopefully learn something along the way. Can someone shed some light on my question of what if any influence or affect dc offset has on the bias of an amp. I know how to check both and have never come across an amp with identical offset on both sides; well within acceptable levels on both sides, but never the same. Also impossible to adjust them to the same level. Does this render identical bias on both sides incorrect in terms of channel balance as it affects your ears? I would greatly appreciate some insight into this.

Thank you

Excellent read. I have an 80's integrated here that is very clean and shows no issues, but the left channel dc offset at turn-on goes to over 200mv and then eases it's way back down to around 10 like the other channel. Thing is, it takes about a half hour to do so. Any ideas where to start?
Thanks in advance.
