What happened to Innerfidelity? (automatically diverts to stereophile)

[Fluffy]

www.innerfidelity.com and any other URL under that domain diverts automatically to Sterophile homepage. Anybody knows what's up?

yep it's gone - not that I ever spent much time there since Tyll left. Headphones as a listing continues on for Stereophile, HiFi News, HIFi Choice, and Sound and Vision. It would be wonderful if Tyll came back - glad that Rafe is apparently gone. How can you have a headphone-focused publication alongside Stereophile and HIFi News and not do measurements, not even mention the output impedance of amplifiers?

That's no good. I relied on the headphone measurements posted there during Tyll's days.

Sad to see innerfidelity gone, I used to check their site regularly. I quite enjoy their Wall of Fame until that was suspended awhile back.

We want our beloved hobby to grow, not shrink, so its never good to see a quality site go dark. I suspect there are now too much competition from Youtube 'expert' audio reviewers with good production value and not much objective talks to dilute the entertainment factor.

My guess is that there's simply a lot of 'contraction' in the Webzine business. You see it in car Webzines. C/D is a shell of its former self, and Motor Trend-Automobile share articles. It wouldn't surprise me if Automobile is dropped as a separate entity.

To be honest inner fidelity was already finished for me since Tyll left...

That's the only reason it was still a valuable resource. I hope that vast body of work isn't gone. In the meanwhile, I was able to find some of it on the Wayback Machine. I would still like to see some official statement from the site owners.

I believe that all the measurements can be found in the excellent AutoEq project:

You can find innerfidelity measurement here

Oops, beaten by 3 minutes.

Luckily it's archived: https://web.archive.org/web/20180522143105/https://www.innerfidelity.com/headphone-measurements

Just download all the graphs in single pdf file from the wrb archive. Thanks.

No great loss, however, with respect to Rafe "I'm a real journalist" Arnott.

Hope everything is there.

Place went to shit basically after Tyll left.

I liked Tyll's Sennheiser HD660S video. He was pure and honest.

All I found are these CSV files, like this: https://github.com/jaakkopasanen/Au...urements/innerfidelity/data/onear/Focal Clear

How can I view that in a simple graph form?

So, that made it attractive for the buyer... ?

As a 60+ retired person myself, I'm glad to see Tyll resting on his laurels and living a simpler life. It's difficult to trust your hearing at our age and courageous that he and others like Floyd Toole accept those limitations, pass the baton to a younger generation, and hopefully profited from the sale of his domain, IP, and former company HeadRoom.

Tyll set the bar very, very high and when he left for his much deserved retirement, it was sad to see IF not maintain that direction. I haven’t read IF since, IIRC Rafe moved on back in March, so perhaps this is stereophile consolidating everything under one roof?
