Rotel Michi P5 - Noise Level Value too high in "ZERO" Position of Volume Control for certain Batches

A friend of me tell me, that various devices of this model suffer from this problem - the noise when playing quiet music is unacceptably high.
The device reviewed under
https://www.stereophile.com/content/rotel-michi-p5-preamplifier-measurements
apparently does not seem to make any audible noise.

Does anyone happen to know exactly which serial numbers are affected and which upgrade measures need to be taken to solve the problem?
Thank you very much for an information
 
No - either the volume control unit or the line amp itself behind the volume control unit cause the noise - even in ZERO position of volume control (i. e. without music signal) a very high noise level is audible.
Anywhere a schematic diagram available ?

P.S. Maybe a volume control identical or similar of this one under

is in use.
