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

Sorry if I was not clear, but I do understand that. It was early and I mixed a few thoughts at once. :-) I still think that transformers for volume controls can sound quite amazing, but it requires a very good source to drive them. At least that was sort of my point. My other point was not so relevant to this topic but was more to the point that transformers can be good for isolation when implemented correctly in a circuit. They should be transparent if done well.
Short answer:
It comes down to the circuit design in the end.
