The issue is that all volume pots degrade the sound (in varying degrees, to be sure) -- they are a necessary evil.Whether the volume pot sounds best at 1/2, 2/3 or fully-open is a bit irrelevant -- that's just the point of lowest loss from the designer's perspective.
The bigger issue I was pointing out (maybe not so well) was using equipment with multiple volume pots/controls, e.g., a volume control on the EAR, plus one on a preamp, plus one on an amp in the worst case.
If one was running the EAR into an amp directly, there's no issue. In my case, I use a phono stage (no switches or volume control) directly into an amp with a volume control.
I suspect that some people might wind up with 2 volume controls in their system, which is one too many.
Volume pots, more than other small parts, have an audible affect on the sound (and not just on the volume ;-)).
