This will only happen again in some other form and you will only have yourselfs to blame!!!! |

Please don't contact me if you're interested, I'll make an ad when that time comes. I've already contacted a couple people about it, and they're interested. |

I have no doubt it will be a strong competitor for sound quality, and in a league of its own for case durability/design/aesthetic. Still, I think its important to remind people that it was designed a while ago; for my money that is not a trivial detail. For example, if people were led to believe that this was a fresh design that was created last week by Phil, they would not be aware of the fact that Phil has more recently created the Lisa III. Given the fact that the Lisa III is both 'newer', made by Phil, and currently available, I'd say that would be a big piece of information to miss out on. For the record, I have no doubt the Diablo will kick sonic butt. Never did. I just think it would be beneficial for folks to know there is more than one source for Phils fine products. (and other companies as well) |

So by this time tomorrow you will have some initial impressions right here. |

Unreal. So even though Larocco Audio refunded my money, they shipped me one anyway. I am going to charge it and test it, but will also let Larocco know that they sent me the amp in error. Let's see if they actually reply to me this time - I bet they do! |
