You guys and gals are killing me here. Peer pressure to get another Soundsmith (Hyperion this time), while I was contemplating a Koetsu Onyx Platinum. I feel that Soundsmith is being awful generous to allow all of his distributors to reduce cost for sales. For some, this is a great opportunity, while others will have to sit and wait for the next opportunity, sadly. Based on my readings, I want to just pull the trigger for a Hyperion, but I always try and do mission analysis before such purchases. But, this is a great opportunity for anyone who can take advantage of it. I own the Sussaro MKII and love it. Is the Hyperion that much better? I am conflicted!!
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.
