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.

AQ4L, there is a fantastic in depth comparison/trial thread on Soundsmiths, esp Hyperion and Straingauge carts
Go to Whats Best Forum, and on the Vinyl Forum/Carts look for:-
Next Step On Soundsmith Fixed Coil 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?

No good dead goes unpunished.

I agree. Please stop posting everyone.

In case you by chance look at this again Peter, it sounds to me like the Soundsmith fan club. Except for one person. Just ignore him, he’s an odd one. I’m in a similar position with my business, except completely closed and 0 revenue. I understand how you feel. I wish though that I had the fans and support that I hear here that you do. With the reputation of your company, Soundsmith will be one of the survivors.
