In Reply to: Head-fi,org is down ... sad posted by mrvegas on November 24, 2007 at 08:45:44:
Anybody remember HeadWize.com? It's still around. HeadWize.com was the original headphone enthusiast website. Chu Moy, the founder almost singlehandedly created the online headphone community. However, he is a one-man operation and as it became popular, he had problems with keeping his server up and paying for service provider bandwidth.During an extended period of HeadWize downtime, headphone enthusiasts developed severe withdrawal, and head-fi.org was born. Head-fi was started by people with far more experience in web technologies and running a website. By the time HeadWize came back online, it was technologically far outgunned by head-fi.
Through all these years, Chu Moy continued to maintain HeadWize as a non-commercial website, and he deserves a lot of credit for the headphone community today.
