Still appears to be available here: https://cdn.innerfidelity.com/

EDIT: it appears that only some, but not all, links within the site still work.

Some of the urls, such as the measurement PDFs, are hard coded with www. If you change "www" to "cdn" you can download them.

Thank you!

BTW I never suggested that somebody should scrape the site with wget or a similar app. I would never suggest such a thing.

Thank you, but no reason to thank me. It's not my site nor was I the one who posted it. Unless you weren't thanking me, in which case everything is ok

Thanks for advising that is was slow, not broken. I would not have tried again otherwise.

Link ( https://cdn.innerfidelity.com/ ) is still working for now; tried logging in to post one last message. Got the ol' "will post once cleared by admins" lol. RIP, IF.

Though not surprising, it's still dismaying that InnerFidelity seems to be officially no more. And the way it disappeared, without so much as a "Hey, we're closing shop, thanks for the support over the years" message, really smarts. It shows that AVTech either didn't care about their remaining audience on IF, and/or there were so few people visiting anymore they figured it wouldn't matter.

It's nice that there are several ways of accessing the old material (linked in posts in the past few pages), but only those of us who remember what IF was under Tyll will now ever think to look. For all those who hadn't discovered him yet, Tyll's considerable contributions to the hobby have effectively been erased.

I wonder how Tyll feels about this. I know he wanted to make a clean break from reviewing headphones, and I know from his travel blog thread that he seems to be having the time of his life out there in Putt, but I imagine he expected his published legacy would endure in some manner after he retired. If it were me, I'd be more than a little upset to find out that virtually everything I'd ever written had been wiped out.

You can get to the main page but if you click on a link for a headphone measurement, it takes you to Stereophile.com

Yeah I've been playing with inserting the CDN to the links but so far can't get it to work.

Has anyone found any professional response from the site managers about this issue? I find the lack of communication to the general audience a clear sign as to how much Stereophile actually cares about its audience.

If you go to the measurements page and hover over the link to the measurement collection pdf, you can copy the link, paste it into the URL bar, and edit it so that the “www” becomes “cdn”. Hit enter, and bam! Measurements. Did it last night; if it was a miracle, I can share, lol.

Nice! I had trouble getting that to work the other day but it's fine now. I probably just typed it wrong or something. We definitely need to scrape that and save it in case it goes offline.

I intend to shoot some emails to the new management/remaining Stereophile staff, as it pertains to 8+ years of my work. Will update if I hear anything back. But certainly anyone else, as a general reader, can/should email as well. That way they see there's more interest than one guy.

Thank you for your help. It is greatly appreciated by the community.

Curious what people's favorite way to save articles is. Never quite happy with the results of Save Page as or Print to PDF. Firefox's Screenshot > Save Full Page is pretty good aesthetically at least, but it's just a giant jpeg (guess I can always try to OCR to grab text quotes later on).

 

[project86]

Well so far no reply from anyone I emailed regarding the situation. I know they are all pretty busy but I've waited almost a week. Maybe I'll try going up the chain to the publisher level, some of the folks I worked with are still in place so perhaps that will help.
