This is just a note that
Audio DiffMaker has been revised to version 1.25, and the included Help file has been rewritten and additional examples have been added. As before, Audio DiffMaker is freeware, so feel free to download it and work with it yourself. You can also use Audio DiffMaker to listen to "difference recording" made by others, such as the ones posted at the Liberty Instruments' web site.

- the effect of changing the IC type in an outboard DAC
- the effect of painting the edge of a CD with a green Sharpie pen!
- The difference between sound from using a ceramic disk capacitor and a film capacitor
- more to come, particularly if some of you send in dyf files you've made!
Audio DiffMaker is a program for demonstrating the possible effectiveness of changes (tweaks, etc.) on audio signals going through components. It works by recording the signal from audio gear before and after a change is made. The two recordings are aligned and subtracted to leave any difference (other than starting time or volume level) that may exist, and you can then listen to JUST the difference that was made. Useful for checking whether tweaks have any real effects on audio signals or whether circuit modifications are changing anything.
Audio DiffMaker is for Windows2000 or WinXP (sorry Mac and Linux users) . It is also usable with Vista, though a bit more complicated.
Also, watch for an upcoming article on Audio DiffMaker in AudioXpress magazine.
