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.

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

Unless the remote circuitry can be removed for comparison we will never know.  Meanwhile just listen and decide if it sounds good, Remote or no remote.  Now what other impractical issues can we all worry about?
