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.

Thank you for the SUT link.
I am using a SUT with 26dB gain, 1:20 into a 47 k ohm preamp 
Reflected primary would be around 120 ohms
This seems like an ok match for your low output carts?

Thank you. Been reading your posts with praise regarding the Soundsmiths. Yes, agree that Soundsmith is underrated. I hope they can weather the storm, as well as everyone else affected by this disease.

AQ4L, there is a fantastic in depth comparison/trial thread on Soundsmiths, esp Hyperion and Straingauge carts

...to cut a long story short, the Hyperion and LPSd Straingauge come out very highly rated indeed.
More evidence as to how underrated Peter's creations are.

On vinylengine.com? Or some other site? Because I'm not finding it there. Link?

Well, that bites. You just have to ignore Nandric when he goes off. Most everyone has been supportive, no?
