Does remote control degrade the sound of tube preamps?

Some preamp manufactures (e.g. CAT) don’t put remote controls in their preamps due to the supposed sound degradation. This could also be just an excuse. Do you think the sound quality is degraded with a remote? I am talking about an audible effect.

@atmasphere Does this mean that MP3 does not have motorized volume control?

I guess one option is to have the preamp placed near the listening position.

It seems that the consensus is that a remote will not result in an audible degradation of the SQ. Thanks to all who have posted.
