It has more impact if turning up the volume can be done purely for the sake of making the music LOUDER, as opposed to just "more audible."

i fully concur... especially with the "keeping it real" attitude that seems to go along with it. would this also explain the reason that people are paying $90 on ebay for a cassette containing a crap recording like scott v described so accurately? are they the real noise fans "keeping it real"?
i have some sort of unwritten rule nowadays that i tend to buy just "proper" releases and skip buying cd-rs and what have you not. i occasionally break this rule at random when buying a cd-r at a gig or just sometimes when it's someone i'm really interested in (like fursaxa a while ago) but in case of for instance wolf eyes i won't have any of it until they release their next album on sub pop.
