Nothing yet, but I will think about it.
You could of course put a link to your home page in your signature! ;-)

* The beyerdynamic DT660 and DT880 appear twice in the Build A Graph drop-down. These probably represent different editions (e.g. 2003 and 2005 or 2006), but it isn't listed clearly.
* A Reset button on the Build A Graph page would be nice. The lack of one isn't a mistake as such, but a Reset button is pretty much a standard feature on pages like this.
* When I do a Google search for headroom desktop portable, the first hit is for a bag, and the second hit is for a Headroom Desktop Portable product page that no longer exists (and Google's cache reveals outdated pricing and options). You might want to consider redirecting the old page to the "2007 HeadRoom Portable Desktop Amp" page.
[edit: I see that the #1 search result for headroom desktop portable on both yahoo.com and live.com and the #2 hit at ask.com are for the same defunct page, which by the way reads, "The page your are trying to view has been moved or is no longer available."]
* There are dead links on your Reviews and Opinions page. There might be others, but the OCWizard review page is gone, and older Stereophile links take you to the Stereophile home page.
Your page on the Headroom 2007 Ultra Micro DAC has the wording from the original Micro DAC page:
Quote:
If using the coax/optical input, you will need an Optical Digital Cable along with a Toslink to Mini Adaptor.
In fact, it appears that the both it and the (non-Ultra) 2007 Micro DAC (the page for which uses the same wording) actually take a full size Optical Toslink connector.
EDIT: Actually the page for the 2007 Ultra Micro Amp and the page for the 2007 Micro Amp have the same DAC-related wording. (I appreciate that you just got these pages up and the descriptions in the main body text are otherwise excellent.)

Thanks for all the great input-- you save us a lot of time by making these posts.
I will pass along graph-related issues to others, as that is not within Marketing's realm. However some of this other stuff is.
We did fix the Micro DAC's info regarding the mini/non-mini connectors, thanks for pointing that out!! Andrew is our most excellent Media Tech, and he'll also be taking a look at some of the dead links and other issues you mentioned as time allows. He should be checking this thread periodically so if there's anything else you notice please feel free to post. Again, we appreciate it!
As for search functions, that's great info too, and I will soon be preparing to contact SiteLevel for a number of minor tweaks. I'll be adding the search concerns addressed here to the list.
I think the measurement stuff is likely to be what you guys would most like to see... and I can't help out there. Just PM Tyll, as he the guy who can make stuff happen around here... :veryevil:
Ivy, I'd like to suggest that you also take a look at the ordering of search results when you click on one of the "Authorized dealers of" brand links on the home page. If you click on, for example, Shure or Jays, you get a long list of supplies and accessories before you get down to the earphones.
It seems to me the results should be ordered with headphones/earphones first (ranked by model number, unless you feel strongly about ranking them by value rating), followed by packaged systems, followed by supplies and accessories.
If you click on, for example, Shure or Jays, you get a long list of supplies and accessories before you get down to the earphones.
...Thanks for the reminder about that, Episiarch, I will look into it and see what SiteLevel may be able to do about that. I am hoping to get time to contact them next week...
Hey, your ten best headphones page is funny. It has 11 phones listed, which wouldn't be bad if only one was a repeat for color scheme, but having both the Shure SE530 and the SE530PTH ...
I've always liked your site. Simple, clean, professional. Great pictures, nice narrative style. Reminds me of Competitive Cyclist.
On webpage: HeadRoom Micro Amp @ HeadRoom - Right Between Your Ears
describing the electronics of the 2007 Micro Amp (not Ultra), it says:
"...The excellent Texas Instruments OPA134 op-amp is used throughout, and all resistors are of truly extraordinary audio quality; Rest assured, all Micro Amp stages are fully biased into true 'Class-A' audio performance!" (The underlining is mine to highlight the words that need correction).
The Micro Amp manual describes only the output stage as biased into Class A (in common with the Ultra Micro Amp), and it describes the major difference between the Micro Amp and the Ultra Micro Amp as:
"The major difference between the Micro Amp and Ultra Micro Amp is that the Ultra Micro Amp uses TI 627s instead of TI 134s, and that all the op-amps are biased into class-A operation with JFET CCDs." (The accompanying photos of Micro Amp and Ultra Micro Amp boards show that the JFET CCDs are only on the Ultra Micro Amp.)
Jorge C confirms the manual's presentation as follows:
"However, the Ultra Micro edition has all active-stage Burr-Brown 627 op-amps (summing/gain/crossfeed/output, etc) biased into Class-A operation using JFETT CCDs while the BB 134OPA gain stage of the 'standard' Micro is actually in Class A/B and does not use the JFETT topology..."
Given how the Manual and Jorge describe the Micro Amp, the underlined statement above on the Micro Amp webpage should be corrected, although it's a fine statement for the Ultra Micro Amp.

We have a pretty huge web site, and it's sometimes more than we can handle keeping it up to date. Please feel free to help use find errors by posting your comments here. We can't promise we'll fix it right away---or even in a timely manner---but we want to try. We've gotten some great help in the past by folks pointing things out to us, and we want to make that channel of feedback a little more efficient. Please include a link when you can. Thanks!
There is a bug, there is no 1000$ Balanced Max..also there is no DPS under 400$, but better then the Astrodyne ...this bugs me
Also there are no speakers showing up in the "Speakers" link.
