Peter never said he was going out of business. He was stating so everyone knows that his business is having a very difficult time financially. I myself also sound like that at times. Closed with no revenue, employees let go, and rent to pay. Doesn’t mean he’s giving up. But supporting businesses right now with sales is very important and would be very helpful.
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.
