Soundsmith isn’t in NYC, but not far- about an hour north. Not that far from New Rochelle which was an early NY community hit by the virus. NY has been hit hard, but we seem to be over the worst. That doesn’t mean it’s still not terrible, but what it means is that hospitalizations and daily fatality rates are declining, NY is also stepping up with aggressive antibody testing, but like the virus testing, you have to ‘qualify’. Soundsmith, like other small businesses, should apply ASAP for PPP loans.
Soundsmith having Issues because of COVID
Don't know if there's any way to help but he posted this on AudioAsylum:
I WISH I have the luxury of time, but with this virus and its effect on my many employees and my business surviving this, I unfortunately do not. I look forward as I have done for 50 years to help all my customers, no matter what level of cartridge they have bought - many times not even my designs. But time right now is the final frontier for me and my company. Sales are at ZERO and overhead/payroll continues as everyone is sheltered at home. We are in the epicenter. I sent everyone home 8 weeks ago.

When I see the price gouging and stratospheric pricing at the top, w laughable claims to justify sheer greed (a soon to be released $25-30k cart made w gold wires stored in a brass bell for 35 yrs...yeah, right!), it makes me hugely pleased I decided to invest w Peter And willing him to survive |
