Innerfidelity (not to be confused with Crinacle's inearfidelity). The guy is the "godfather of headphones". He made headphones "famous" (i.e. made it known on the enthusiast level). He also pioneered measuring headphones.

Interesting, surprised this is my first hearing of him

He retired 4 years ago and his website was pretty much wiped. Now he travels in a tiny home he built himself. But yeah, before most of the known reviewers that are around now, Tyll was making youtube reviews and posting measurments on his website

I hate it because so many links on older forums and reviews go to his website but it’s all gone :(
