It has two different RCA outputs, one is volume controlled, one is not.
The non-volume controlled one is not affected by the noises at all.

If the headphone amp PCB is not securely attached with screws to the chassis exactly as it shipped all hell breaks lose... as in buzzing when you TOUCH the volume control, let alone turn it.
I'd take your advice about more earth ground.. but to what? I'm not quite ready to just short random parts of it with pieces of metal
EDIT: I really don't understand why that would occur though... is current supposed to flow through the potentiometer's turning dial?!
