I think you are being a bit harsh on "all" replaygain techniques here. First, adding a replaygain tag to a file doesn't lose any information at all, you can choose whether to apply it or not at play time. Second, they don't twiddle the volume at all within a track (which would be most annoying) or (I'm not sure whether you think this or not) apply any compression. And if you apply "albumgain" then the same volume adjustment will be made equally to all tracks/movements, so there is no question of overriding Mr Karajan or his colleagues. I'm not saying, BTW, that all gain adjustment techniques are without any of these problems - merely that it is quite possible to get volume normalisation without messing with the music...
