Does remote control degrade the sound of tube preamps?

I am deeply suspicious of remote control on an analog preamp. Mine does not use remote and sounds great I realize that means nothing but getting up to change volume is also good exercise.

It would not surprise me if it remotes do alter the sound. But IMO the convenience outweighs the tiny fraction which it may cause. I might think different at 35 yrs old. But at 71, I won't buy a preamp without remote. Besides that is that Conrad Johnson does not make a preamp which comes without remote. And they are among the best  top tier preamps. Whatever the case, I don't care

it depends

in general it probably depends more on the volume pot configuration, not so much the remote control of it
