guys, there are 3 types of RK27 also.:

Snap-In Potentiometers 2-GANG 100K AUDIO

Potentiometers Flat 20mm 100k

Potentiometers Slotted 20mm 100k

What is the difference here?

Look at the datasheet (there is a link on Mouser)

One has a slotted shaft (for a knob or to use a screwdriver for turning)

There other has a flat on the shaft to aid in keeping the knob from rotating independently of the shaft when the knob is fastened with a setscrew or a knob with a D-shaped hole.

Lots of noise

Question regarding a 10K alps I already have.

Lats night I put it into one of my linestage/headphone amps.

I'm getting huge amounts of noise when I go anywhere near the metal volume knob and hell breaks loose when I touch it.

Do I need to ground the outer casing or what am I doing wrong?

I have the third prong attached to the star grounding system.
