STEREOPHILE investigates (Julie Mullins):
At the time of writing, around 35 states in USA have ordered people to stay at home, except for essential activities.
" For only the second time in the forty years of AudioQuest, we have had to lay off people... "
(Bill Low, AUDIOQUEST founder & CEO - in USA at least. although in their Holland operations, the Dutch government is supporting companies to retain staff.)
" The whole industry is being filled with layoffs, and no one is talking about it "
(Mat Weisfeld, president of VPI Industries)
" This situation certainly pushes us to pause and evaluate every aspect of our business ...But for every challenge, there's a solution. No audio shows? Maybe we need to work on more online video to compensate. Will our team have to spend more time working remotely? Then we'll improve our online systems, communication, and networking software. "
(MSB Technology CEO Jonathan Gullman)
SCHIIT AUDIO is still operational - " because under California's rules, we are considered an essential business, or at least that's what our lawyer [said] ...Of course, like everyone, I'm sure we've taken a bit of a hit, but the orders are coming in.
I think in general, it actually might be good for the audiophile realm, because, I mean, if people are stuck at home, they're going to be thinking about more at-home entertainment.. "
(SCHIIT co-founder and analog designer Jason Stoddard)
" I do believe that now is the time for planning and being as flexible as possible to change. "
(Vinnie Rossi, founder of VINNIE ROSSI)
" Everyone is time poor. If it's one thing this [situation] has put back into people's lives, it's getting the gift of time back. "
(Andy Kerr, BOWERS & WILKINS Director of Communications)
