Transparency & Ethics Policy

The "Vetted" Standard At Vetted Audio, I apply military-grade scrutiny to high-fidelity gear. My background as a U.S. Navy Electronics Technician means I don’t care about marketing prose or "audiophile magic." I care about signal integrity, circuit engineering, and real-world value.

How I Make Money To keep this site independent and free of intrusive banner ads, Vetted Audio participates in affiliate marketing programs. When you click a link on this site and make a purchase from partners like Amazon, Fosi Audio, or HIFIMAN, I may earn a small commission.

My Commitment to You:

1. Objective Over Subjective: My reviews are based on bench testing and technical analysis. A commission never changes a "Fail" to a "Pass."
2. No "Sugar-Coating": If a piece of gear has poor soldering, high noise floors, or deceptive marketing, I will say so plainly. Authenticity takes precedence over profit.
3. Vetted Partners Only: I only affiliate with brands and retailers that I have personally researched or used. If I wouldn't put it on my own desk, I won't link it to yours.
4. Amazon Disclosure: As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

Why This Matters Affiliate commissions help cover the costs of the parts, shipping, and specialized equipment required to conduct these tests. Thank you for supporting a veteran-owned, data-driven approach to audio.
