Dynamics are more important to me than loudness. Constant loudness = boring. I turn things up or down to suit my preferred listening volume for a given situation and type of music. Music that has been compressed and limited to the max just ends up having no variation in volume.
I don't understand why records are becoming more compressed to stand out on the radio. They just compress everything for broadcast anyway. The pumping makes me sea sick. Seriously, I can't even listen to Radio 1 these days.
