    So what's going on at Headphone.com / HeadRoom?

    I received this e-mail today:

    Thank you all for the kind words and show of support since the announcement of us selling our domain headphone.com. It's been great chatting with some of you about the 'old days' with Tyll, Todd, and Ivy. You should check out some of our old sites on the waybackmachine.com.

    Some great stuff in there!
    Many of you have expressed a desire to still show us your support and while our supply is almost gone, you can still support us when purchasing products on Amazon. Buy using our Amazon link to purchase products we'll make a small commission which goes toward keeping the site up and running.Read More...

    Hmmm... I heard there was something going on but didn't know the details. Is the site going to go down after a while or was it just changing hands? I find their build a graph comparison tool quite useful, and their compensations are better than most others.

    I too heard rumors of this when the Head Fi update rolled out, but didn't know they were selling the domain... I hope at the very least they archive all those graphs! @cskippy I too liked their build a graph function, especially when comparing a few different headphones

    They've got a blog up somewhere where you can find more details. They just got run off by other on-line retailers. Seems like they might go back to building amps or something. For sure they plan to keep the graphs up and some other historical stuff. They have an alternative domain name, but I'm too lazy to go find it.

    ahh well that's good. I don't really remember every buying headphones there only the graphs. But it's good to know their hosting their graphs else where.

    And that update was November 2016...

    I am very deeply concerned for these guys.

    I can't find phone number anymore and I am not sure if this contact method available on headphone.com still works.

    My very first headphone amp, Headroom Micro, was from Headroom.
