VinylSetup participates in affiliate marketing programs. This means some links on our website may earn us a commission when you click through and make a qualifying purchase.
These commissions help support the website and allow us to continue publishing turntable guides, product reviews, comparisons, and vinyl setup advice.
How Affiliate Links Work
Some product links on VinylSetup are affiliate links. They may appear as buttons or text links such as “Check Price on Amazon” or similar retailer links.
When you click an affiliate link and complete a qualifying purchase, we may receive a commission from the retailer. This does not increase the price you pay.
The commission is paid by the retailer or affiliate program, not added to your purchase as an extra charge.
Not every link on VinylSetup is an affiliate link, and clicking a link does not necessarily result in a commission.
Do Affiliate Commissions Affect Our Recommendations?
No. Affiliate commissions do not determine which products we recommend, how products are evaluated, or how comparisons are written.
Our recommendations are based on product suitability, features, specifications, compatibility, available independent information, and hands-on evaluations where applicable.
We do not accept payment from manufacturers or retailers in exchange for guaranteed placement or favorable coverage in our buying guides and reviews.
The presence or absence of an affiliate program does not change our editorial evaluation of a product.
How We Evaluate Products
VinylSetup uses both hands-on testing and research-based evaluations. We distinguish between products we have physically tested and those assessed using manufacturer documentation and independently published information.
Affiliate relationships do not change the evaluation process. You can read more about our approach on the How We Test page.
Retailer Relationships
When you follow an affiliate link, you may be redirected to a retailer such as Amazon or another participating store.
Any purchase you make is subject to that retailer’s own pricing, availability, shipping policies, return conditions, and terms of service.
VinylSetup does not process or fulfill orders placed through external retailers.
