This one is a no brainer! Old audio fix. FIRST BE SURE THE POWER IS OFF & THE POWER CORD IS DISCONNECTED. Use achol, Turn your componet so the the shaft of the control that has noise in it is vertical. Now just put a few drops on the shaft of the pot, enough so that it can run down inside the pot. Now rotate the pot several times. This should correct the problem in most cases. If not try it again. After a couple of tries if the noise doesn't stop you may have to replace the pot. I have used this for many years with great sucess. You may also find that the sound quality is better too, even if the pot was not noisy. Be sure to wait long enough that the fluid can dry before restoring power. Good Luck!
static when adjusting gain control
I have an Audible Illusions L-1 pre amp which produces a sound which I can only describe as STATIC. The static only occurs when I adjust the left chanell gain control and only comes from the left speaker. There is no static once the control is set. There is no such static from the right side control nor is there any from the master volume control. Can this problem be corrected easily? Does it pose a problem if not fixed? Thanks for any advice.
