Does remote control degrade the sound of tube preamps?

@music_is_life 

Understood. Thanks for sharing.

I've got a Herron Audio tube preamp with a remote (the smallest remote I've ever seen!), and I don't think Keith Herron would put something in his gear that would cause any noticeable sound degradation. I definitely need a remote as the source doesn't all come in at the same level, and when I use it for watching TV, I'm always having to shift the volume up and down... 

How would you know because if it's designed with or without that's is your only reference point  ? 

I resolved this clearly a while back but if anyone feels compelled to continue to debate a moot point feel free. 🤷

goofy how this thread on such a minor, non-issue hasn't died under its own weight...
