Chakster, where are you from?
Commiserations if you are doing worse than most. The collapse of the oil price is crippling Iran and Nigeria especially, adding insult to the injury of Covid.
Yes, you could say this thread is a First World problem...so what if an audio company goes bust, noone will starve, there are thousands of other carts you can buy.
It was that Peter Lederman posted publically of his woes, and it's chimed with a lot of people.
I run two small self employed therapy clinics, have had to shut and let two associates go. If I fold for good, I won't starve (just), and therapy will always exist.
For me, I absolutely value the small, customer-centered business, in everyday life as well as audio. I view Peter as that rare combination...dedicated, traditional, value-minded, and approachable.
The world of audio is mortally wounded if Peter folds. Yes, the price gougers and bling merchants will survive, charging their $200k for tts, $50k for arms, $25k for carts...they'll thrive in the post Covid, Asian-centered hyperinflationary priced ephemera non reality.
But Peter, bringing a taste of the upper class to the middle class, will be a huge loss. And thus this thread was born.
Genuinely good luck to you and yr compatriots.
