:Without getting into boring technical details, the volume spike thing seems to be a resetting of the remote control to which the knobs go to 12 o'clock for a brief moment. So if you either don't use the remote OR keep the remote knobs at 12 o'clock you should never hear a volume spike.

=== March: Sudden Volume Spikes Resolution ===

:We are happy to announce that we have identified the root cause of the “volume spike” problem for some of the Personalized Amplification System™ PS1 power stands. A few owners and regular forum contributors have been extraordinarily helpful in helping us track down this unusual bug, and we send out a huge thanks to them. This is a level of cooperation that is rarely found in any industry.

:The problem is resolved by using a new remote control that we will provide to all affected customers free of charge.

: B1 Carry Bag Update

: It was here on this message board that we found out that you, our customers, would really like a carry bag or some sort of protection for the B1 Bass Module product. In November 2003 we began work on a design. It has taken up to NOW to get new product included with B1 cass module carry bags. As seen in a rendering earlier in this thread, they are really a nice "slip cover" to go over your B1 Bass Module. It's constructed so the same beefy handle can be used to carry the product, now just under a cover.
