...Idealism doesn’t pay bills...
Do you really believe I would believe you more (or less) if you were a CEO or just a bottle-brush?
Nah!

This unanswered request got buried and may actually help......Would it be proper to also notify user by the ASR mail system (private conversation clicky)?
...pay bills.
I have just attempted two credit card and one debit card donations. "Card declined" in each case.
Any ideas, anyone please?
Sweet BD, but doesnt help me make a donation!Credit counseling?
Okay, so Paypal doesn't seem to remember me either. Weird. Is this Patreon malarky a valid way of contributing? I am UK based.Sweet BD, but doesnt help me make a donation!
I have just discovered my PayPal login details, so I might have another crack via that route!

Its already is done. Congratulations on your Donor status. You may now move to our luxurious Donor section Sir!Thanks Adam.
So, a complete "rejoining" of PayPal seems to have done the trick. I suppose I need to give it a day or so for confirmation.
In all honesty I liked your response better!Sure...make me look bad with a REAL answer...
Wahoo I got one already.Just donated today and I was wondering when I will get my fancy little donor / supporter title next to my username?
Also I don’t post much, if at all, but I do visit the forums multiple times a day to browse through various discussions and Amir’s reviews (which are by far my favorite part). I’ve made a lot of my purchases based on reviews on this website including two of my current favorite stacks on my desktop; Topping A90D/D90SE & S.M.S.L. SH-9/SU-9. Both of which were great purchases that I got at a discount from Apos. Anyway, I hope my donation, as small as it might be, still helps because this is one of my favorite websites for reviews and discussions that I can creep on & pick through for information before I make any major gear purchases.
Why not set up the llc as a non-profit and salary yoirself as its President? You are basically an acoustic education and test facility. The value of donations can be deducted by your patrons and also the cost of having tested items sent to you can also be considered a donation.Currently it is an LLC (Audio Science Review LLC, registered in Washington State). It is not setup as a non-profit with respect to IRS so unfortunately your donations are not tax deductible. Worse yet, I have to pay taxes on them.
Edit: I am highlighting this as there still seems to be some confusion about this.
I need to research and learn what it all means to be non-profit. It is something I have never looked at.Why not set up the llc as a non-profit and salary yoirself as its President?

I doubt it would be that sub-section of the Act, as that relates to charitable and religious organisations. Although maybe Amir can argue this is a religion?501(c)(3) status
