I gathered Mr Bear pretty much just lopped off the top of a C24 and half the

Must have made his own PSU.


Most of the mechanical stuff seemed to be his too.

There is (was) a site in the UK that offered a service to convert the half a
C24 PCB into the original C12 circuit, so it seems there is a slight
difference.


Yes, the biasing arrangement is different. I'm not going to claim one is
better than the other, they are just different. I wouldn't see any reason
to change unless you dislike the sound.
