Everyone is frustrated because I haven't a "magic formula"...

That isn't why people are frustrated...

 

I’m not frustrated, as I have decided what @fas42 says is nonsense. He claims he can make a recording sound realistic no matter how poorly it is recorded. Yet he says that audiophile and other naturally made recordings are unlistenable. This makes no sense whatsoever to me for if he can make unrealistic recordings sound realistic why can’t he do the same for recordings which strive to be the most realistic and accurate as possible? Audiophile recordings are often recorded in a real performance places, with no EQ and other sound altering devices.

 

In addition, the devices he tweaks such as laptop computers using the built-in 1 inch speakers instead of using digital outs to decent DAC. Sharp "boombox" speakers and old Yamaha CD players. IMHO he is making a laughingstock of himself.

...Audiophile recordings, IME, are sometimes too obviously manipulated, and are 'too simple' - the richness of sound textures is lacking, which makes them less satisfying, compared to other recordings...

 

In reality it is just the opposite, it is commercial recordings that are manipulated. With audiophile and other naturally made recordings, you get what the microphones picked up in the performance space, nothing more, nothing less. Perhaps, you don't like sonic realism.
