Does the volume control effect sound quality?


I recently had to change my volume control in a Dynaco pre-amp. I could not find the exact part, but based on specs, chose another dual gang control. However, it seems like the sound quality has changed so my top end is not as pronounced. Am i imagining things?

Thanks

Sowter attenuater transformer volume control. From their website:
"The transformer action of these attenuators assures the loading circuit sees a low driving impedance regardless of switch position. This ensures the maximum bandwidth potential and minimum distortion of the circuit can be realized at all gain settings."
