I think Soundsmith is a small shop headed up by one guy in upstate NY, but to not have it finished in 8 months is insane…especially with an original ETA of 8-14 weeks.

Yes, they are a very small shop. Peter Ledermann is really the guy and engineered a "moving iron" design (which has been around for a while) that's kind of somewhere between a moving magnet and moving coil. Peter Green is a longtime cohort and he's the one who'll answer the phone - I've talked with him a couple of times both before the original purchase and as part of this service attempt. They and particularly Peter L got hit pretty hard with covid, so I'm being patient. But that's part of the issue with the small shops, dependence on one specific person is too high.
