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.

Motorized stepped attenuator like in the old Rogue Hera / Athena - no, but it was klunky to use as the control sucked.

@mulveling What exactly sucks about the motorized stepped attenuators in the Heras and Athenas?  Mine seems to work pretty good.
