Nice to meet you.
My heart is doing nervously.
This be because it is my 2nd note.
Permit my strange English.

I obtained DIABLO recently.
I tried to listen to it promptly.
I liked the sound of DIABLO.
However, regrettably as for my DIABLO, BASS does not change at all.
Everybody of DIABLO is how?

The huge initial failure rate is hardly a "tank build"

 

[Gnoshroom]

"Tank" refers to structure integrity.

There is a difference between precision and accuracy...

 

[jamato8]

So do the screws on the front and back of the Diablo allow for access to the insides?

 

[Gnoshroom]

jamato8, Visually, it looks like in order to access the insides of the Diablo you must remove the screws and then crack the top half of the case off. The internal knobs do not allow for the insides to slid out like an RSA portable amp. Or, the screws could be pressure locking the top half in place via a type of sandwich force between the two side plates.... Donno, I'm not dissembling mine as I still need to send it back to Larry to repair the charging LED.

Unless you guys wanted to start a paypal fund and send over some money... then I'll be more then happy to dissemble my diablo completely with videos, pictures, and posts

This is known as precision?

So how much? :^) I would think the screws do something and that taking them out would hardly void the warranty but then maybe it would.

We took out the screws at the Florida meet, but you cannot get to the insides, except for the front and the back plates without cracking open the glue. As previously stated, it says right on the webpage that the unit is not user serviceable or able to be modified by anyone but the manufacturer, If you crack it open, I assume you are doing so at your own risk, due to the manufacturer's disclaimer.

In other words, it's like the guys in the DIY forum trying to mod the iPod Nano. They are "entering at there own risk" and some of them are on their 3rd Nano.
Due to the availabilty of the Diablo and the price, you'd have to have a pretty big expendable wallet and some serious cuhones.

The glue makes me wonder if it's manufacturer serviceable.

My guess would be a small bead of hot glue in a few strategic spots.... easy enough to take apart if you know where the glue is.....

 

[immtbiker]

No, it was an even coat along the entire 2 sides.

 

[jamato8]

Ok, So how is this amp doing?? Curious minds want to know.

 

[Dept_of_Alchemy]

Still just 2 Diablos?

Well I have mine...had it for a while and have nothing to complain about at the moment. I received one...it was the wrong color...and then the lights stopped working. Emailed and got a quick response...and replacement.

My newest one is black with silver knobs...looks wicked! It supposedly has a bass mod, filter mod, and battery charger mod...whatever that means. Perhaps upgrages from the first releases and some of the problems were addressed.

I do know that I have been able to compare the new one to my first versoin and it seems to sound better. The low gain on the new one is actually usable...but I still think I prefer it set to high. I have yet to fully burn it in...maybe 75 hours on it...but this latest one sounds great.

I am listening to it with my LiveWires and just love the combo. The only full sized cans I have at the moment are some SR60s...but wow, these babies came to life! I still want to find some higher end full sized cans to use with my set up...just not sure if I want open or closed.

My only other amp was a Hornet M....and I definitely prefer the Diablo. The Hornet had a harsher sound to it...and the Diablo seems to be more balanced. Bass is rock solid too.

Will give more feedback after I've listened to it a bit more.

RIDE

Mine is boxed up and heading out on Monday for repairs (of the charging light)
