Dear readers, we've been discussing this issue for years among staff members, and after a long period of brainstorming, we've decided to start a Paypal support campaign for our website. This is going to happen on a completely voluntary basis, and your money will be used for improving TNT-Audio graphic aspect and online services. While we wish to keep the website pure, simple and fast as it has always been, the time has come to give it a fresher look. HiFi Companies and even many readers think that our website is closed - or rarely updated - since the 90s! Moreover, considering that many visitors browse our pages via mobile devices, we need to adapt the pages to different screen resolutions. Up to now, we've always designed our pages by ourselves, but websites have become much more complicated than they used to be in the Nineties, hence DIY is no longer an option.

In order to do so, and give the website a more professional look, we need to pay someone. We also wish to consider further improvements, and, if a fundraising campaign is successful, we could cover some expenses, such as web hosting, factory and HiFi Shows reportages and translations of our pages. That's an ambitious goal, hence we will start with modifying the website, then we'll see. Of course, we will keep you updated - from time to time - about our future projects and goals. Think of it as the standard Wikipedia supporting campaign: you can choose a one-time donation on a non-regular basis or a monthly donation. These are the main guidelines:

Donations are subject to taxes if they exceed 100€ or so. Hence, donate accordingly. Receiving a donation that exceeds 100€ will put us in trouble.
Paypal isn't a no-profit enterprise, hence the money you donate is subject to their fees. More precisely they subtract the 3.4% of the sum you donate, plus 0.35€ per donation. Example: if you donate 10€, we get 10 - 3.4% - 0.35€ = 9.31€. It is possible to decide to pay for the fee on your behalf, but that's up to you. For us, even modest donations are highly welcomed and heartly appreciated.
We won't keep track of who donates what, hence this campaign is intended to be completely voluntary and, as a result, it doesn't generate privileges of any kind. We've decided not have Class A or Class B (or D?) readers: everyone will always get free and complete access to our pages and reviews. No subscribers-only content will ever appear on TNT-Audio.
Since donation is a purely voluntary action, you shouldn't expect to be entitled to ask for some kind of special status. You decide to support our magazine because you think true independent press is a good thing.
You don't need a Paypal account to donate, when you click on the Donate button you can choose the amount to donate and the way to pay for it, via Paypal or using credit/debt cards. You choose. We can't see how you paid, Paypal manages the online transaction. We don't ask you to accept cookies of any kind.
For obvious reasons of independence, HiFi companies, distributors and stores aren't allowed to donate. Hence thanks, but no, thanks.

The donate buttons will slowly appear on our new articles and reviews, in the meanwhile you can click on the image below or even use the displayed QR code. Finally, while a small amount of money can help us making our website better, don't forget your personal appreciation is still our best and mostly appreciated reward for what we do!
