You know Dave, I read the threads at PSW for many years, but never post there, and one of the main reasons is you, and some other members with similar attitude.
I have a great respect for your work and experience, but I think you should understand that in this world there is not only rock, pop rock, and metal music. Maybe you should take in consideration that acoustic orchestral music, church organ, choir music, acoustic jazz should need a different aproach, and I'm not talking about 90% of the shitty multimike/multitrack recordings comercially available, but about clean, transparent, minimal mike recordings. I'm talking about records made by Chesky, XRCD, Reference Recordings and others. That kind of records sound how they sound because people are very carefull about all the aspects of the production, including some audiophile principles (sorry, again the anoying word).
Don't misunderstand me, I'm not a crazy audiophile, and 90% of the audiofool bulshit is driving me mad, but there are lots of things that function and have logical explanation (or they just function and there is no logical explanation). I don't even have a serious audiophile playback equipment, but I have access for years to some really serious listening gear, and some of the experiences are disturbing. So I prefer to be open minded and find the solutions/answers for a more transparent mastering/recording.
