Volume pot upgrade question.

I've been upgrading my Audible Illusions Mini-Mite pre with better quality components, connectors, etc. with incremental improvements along the way. This board has been a great resource along those lines. Decided to change stereo pot/balance with two mono pots from PEC. I've noticed a dramatic increase in detail and transparency but unfortunately, I've also noticed a metallic hardening of vocals. Would hooking up the pots in shunt mode help? I'm not clear on how to implement this. As I understand it, one would place a high quality resistor between pot and ground and tie wiper with ground terminal of pot. Is this correct? What value resistor would work with 100K pots? Any advice would be appreciated. Cheers.
