Whenever current flows through carbon comp. resistors, the issue of noise arises. Carbon film parts don't have the noise issue and have good sonics. You've been paying attention to malarkey or misinterpreting that which was stated.
Placing a resistor in parallel with the control will adversely affect the requisite logarithmic taper. People have combined resistors with linear taper controls to fake a logarithmic taper.
Please post the schematic for your project. The 250 Kohm control MAY be suitable.
