Some speculation on the preference for loudness:
I almost posted something on this previously, but decided not to. I suspect
that the "loud is better" actually comes from a desire for denser spectra
and that strategies for providing denser spectra have been thwarted by
some people simply increasing the volume.
Nah... ;-)
It comes from thrashers that want their CD louder than some other band
when they stick their CD in a player that's just been playing the other
band. Basically an 'I'm louder than you' mentality. ;-)
