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. John

Audio4fun & everyone who responded, Thanks for the tips. I tried contact cleaner and thought things were improving but static seemed just as bad. I then tried an eye dropper with rubbing alcohol applied to the shaft of the gain control. I rotated the knob and positioned the pre amp at every imaginable angle over a period of about eight hours.... and PRESTO, NO STATIC! Thanks everyone and Audio4fun, The cigar is your's! Regards, John
