hissing noise when turning volume knob?

hi audiogon fellows, recently i have detected noise(like radio tuning) from my right speaker, only when i turn the volume knob. Firstly I'm pretty stupid with machinary stuff, i'm guessing it might be one of fuses is about to get blown out.
I have no idea what causes the problem, strange though the noise stopped for awhile, and then back this week, and there is no problem at all during listening.
I just hope it doesn't die on me anytime soon.
BTW my amp is Plinius 8200mk2 intergrated.
Thanks in advance!!

Ack is correct, although it is also possible that it is merely dirty, and needs to be cleaned.
(Have them check to see if it needs to be cleaned first, as this might save you some money.)

The old Counterpoint preamps were notorious for having this problem.

Good Luck!
