That would be one giant Toblerone bar to suck up very long wavelengths !

The special shape of the Toblerone is very effective at diffusing sound waves.

OK,  ya'll finally got me.  I had to google Toblerone to find out it is a triangular chocolate bar.

Never heard of them.

Sal, you need to get out more. I think I've seen them in every drugstore and Supermarket I've been in - even in the States. 

And you don't remember all the jokes about the shape of the Pono player?

Those are the best, I've seen them occasionally in audiophile societies. 

If you place  Ferrero Rocher  boxes (with the candies) at all the first reflection points in your listening room, they will eliminate the "digital sound" and all your digital playback will sound like it is analog.

due to diffraction at wavelengths of 17 mm??

No, due to the candies "sweetening the sound. But don't overdo it with too many boxes, then it will warm the sound and the candies will melt.

I've never understood why so many people in audio have to turn it into something like a religion: "only technology X works, anything else sucks".

 

When anyone who pauses to think for even a few seconds understands that there are lots of different pathways to good sound, and in addition, what one person thinks sounds "natural, like the real thing", another listener thinks sounds "artificial". And vice versa. 

 

Different people, different tastes, different ideas of what sounds good. What is so difficult about that?

I'll take good ole Hershey's any day.

The Hershey Company, known until April 2005 as the Hershey Foods Corporation^[4] and commonly called Hershey's, is an American company and one of the largest chocolate manufacturers in the world. Its headquarters are in Hershey, Pennsylvania, which is also home to Hershey's Chocolate World. It was founded by Milton S. Hershey in 1894 as the Hershey Chocolate Company, a subsidiary of his Lancaster Caramel Company.

The standard Hershey's milk chocolate bar is about 11%cocoa; very low in comparison to many other bars and accounts for it's not very good taste.

It was in it's day a classic US manufacturing item - take something more expensive  and make it cheap and affordable to everyone by lessening quality. As a result it became the US standard and what most American's thought of as "chocolate".

 

That's fine, but the result isn't very good in terms of actual taste.  A classic Hershey bar won't win many blind taste tests. It's success in the market was as a result of low price and a consistent standard at that price. 

 

That's why Hershey's now also makes higher end chocolate bars, b/c they know their classic bar is basically cheap crap.

Hi,

No - everything i presented here has been fact or a result of a simulation. It is in engineering books, or part of education, or available in free software for simulation, or testing yourself.

 

You cannot state someone is projecting their misunderstandings if you lack the capability to understand the simple engineering information presented to you.

 

At no time, have you ever asked a question or challenged the engineering statement, but continue to state it makes nonsense.

 

Again, some of the concepts are so simple, it is painful (embarrassing) to state them, yet you fail to understand them.

 

Regards,

Shadders.

Shadders-

I don't want to get involved in your argument with AN, but you do realize he knows a lot of science, and has a scientific background? So even if you disagree with him, it doesn't make sense to say he is anti-science, etc.
