ASR is relies on goodwill of the visitors and members of the site to cover its expenses and enable testing of more products. There are no sponsors and no ads on the site as you may have noticed.
If you are interested in supporting us using donations, you can use one of the following four methods:
1. Patreon. This is an external service that accepts monthly donations. You can change/stop payments anytime you want. Just go to this page: https://www.patreon.com/audiosciencereview
Patreon takes its cut from donations you make. It is a good option if you want to spread your donations over time, or if you are not a member of ASR.
There is no linkage between Patreon and the forum software. So if you wish to be recognized as a Patreon donor, please contact me and I will do so. Alternatively you may want to wait a bit to see if I catch and update it.
2. ASR members can upgrade their membership to support us using one-time payment. This is the process:
To donate, click on your alias on top right of the forum. In the drop down select "Account Upgrades."
Once you click that, you are presented with three one-time options. I have set them to $25, $50 and $100 per year. There is no auto-renewal. It just expires after a year and you can then choose to donate again or not.
When you click on the option you like, you are taken to PayPal. You can use your PayPal account if you have one. If you don't, just tell it so and you can enter any credit card you like.
3. Direct donation using PayPal. If you want to donate your own amount, please use this link: https://paypal.me/AudioScienceReview?locale.x=en_US
EDIT: I do not use the Amazon Affiliate program (even though I am qualified to do so). So please use the above methods to support us.
4. Amazon affiliate. I am set up as an Amazon associate meaning that if you go to Amazon using a special link and buy things there, some percentage of the purchase amount gets sent to me as commission. The amount of commission ranges from zero to 8% I think. Sadly the highest amount is for fake jewelry and such.

This is a good time to thank the many of you who have donated. It puts a huge smile on my face every time I see a notification that a donation has been made. Not as much for the money which is appreciated, but the fact that there is no better acknowledgement of the value of this site than someone spending hard cash on it.
