There is some interesting white papers from one of the guys at Jenson Transformers I read a while back. Somehow I can't find them at the moment. Anyways it talks about noise floors and impedance mismatches and how not using a transformer can often lead to very low signal to noise.
What the other poster was talking about was using a variable transformer instead of a conventional level control like a pot or stepped attenuator.

Jensen makes excellent transformers, but they aren't volume controls.
