I'm going to try and open the unit tonight. Have been putting it off. Luckily the batteries last for a while.
Dex, I agree with your comments on the voyager. In fact, I was loaned a unit that I've been comparing to my PRII mkII for the last week and will be posting a summary of what I heard shortly. Didn't compare with the iQube as mine's still only so-so burnt-in and needs more time. Based on my limited listening thus far the iQube is the most neutral of the aforementioned amps.
I still have not gotten my 123 open but I continue working on the other side with the two clips. My fingers are getting sore. Now I am not just fighting against a single clip as on the first side but two. If I keep up the pressure on these two clips will this eventually loosen then like what you did Dex?
I want to put the rechargeable batteries in so this is not a problem for a while.
Given the difficulty in doing this operation I think rechargeable batteries should be standard with the qualification that the user might be able to change out the batteries when the rechargeable ones fail to recharge.
Indeed like Dex says, let it rest. Once your fingers are getting tired it will for sure not work. Also it is not force that will do the trick. If it doesn't go, more force will also not do it.
There is a caveat you can do, DISCLAIMER: THIS IS ON YOUR OWN RISK.
Once you have opened one side you can enter a small screwdriver into that side fully to the closed side. then fix the lid against the screw driver and while holding them both together flip it open (using the screw driver as a sort of lever)
Push the handle of the screw driver down, causing the point to go up and flip the top side open.

Congrats Dex on your purchase! I believe I missed that part or just don't remember anymore lol!
That is a real real real lovely amp. Best I've heard so far. I like the PRII better because it's heavier on the bottom end but it's so neutral.
It looks and feels real good too. Enjoy your new thingy!

If the case gets really loose, because of the tabs would that be covered under warranty?
Well, If the tabs or casing are faulty yes it will be covered.
But if it is due to normal wear and tear or your own modification, it is not covered. So the rubbing/massaging of the tabs is at your own risk. If after that the casing is too loose it will not be covered.

Thanks, Indra, don't know how you could've missed it, we celebrated with champagne, cake, and a brass band!
I think that when you consider amps the caliber of the iQube, PRII, Voyager, etc. it really all comes down to personal preference and system synergy. That I've found the iQube to play on the same level with my gear as the CanAmp is still quite remarkable to me, and I'm absolutely thrilled by my decision to bring #140 into the fold. To be able to enjoy essentially the same experience at home or on the road is pretty special indeed.

That's entirely understandable, Hans. Although I think that one would have to be an absolute brute to bend those tabs past the point-of-no-return, undoubtedly, somebody will manage to do just that, if they do not exercise moderation and due caution as I described earlier. (So gently, folks, gently! )
So, in the event of such an occurrence, do you keep spare tabs on-hand? They look easy enough to replace if one can manage to safely disassemble the chassis.
