am happy to say that the Bez that I have here (T3B-3) is the best
Chinese valve amp I have heard also - I'm very fond of it, love its
'personality' and never tire of the sound


Seems they got everything right with this one. But I wonder if it's
made from the same parts in the same factory throughout its life -
Chinese stuff seems to emerge under all sorts of names and dealers.


It's true that most stuff is built in China. You pay more for good
design and quality control when you buy it in the UK under a UK brand
name. But in the case of the Bez, I think the quality of it has been
sufficiently proven. A little classic in its way.


The Bez site has got to be the worst site on the whole 'Net:

http://www.bezdz.com/

If you've got half a day to bugger about and click links as you find
them you will find all sorts of stuff! Pages come and go randomly it
seems and once there was a page with no end of different amps, but it
seems to missing lately. (You almost wonder if they were capable of
producing the same amp twice!!)

But like I say, I love mine - I switch it on, it farts and pops for a
while then it settles down. If the farting goes on too long I whack one
of the drivers over the head and that usually does the trick -

Sounds like a dodgy socket or a bad solder joint - the dreaded
"involuntary farting". Is there a PCB or is it point to point?

standard mods are a Mullard rectifier, 6J7G and 6P5GT

Whacking a valve on the head from time to time is quicker/cheaper....
