At HifiCafé we know that hi-fi is a hobby where music matters as much as equipment, listeners as much as brands, and enthusiast groups as much as companies. That is why we welcome the companies that want to be part of this community.
Just as a person can become a Patron to help keep the platform going, a company can become a Friend Company and do its bit financially. The fee buys nobody's attention: what makes you visible is what you bring to the conversation.
01Sign up with your company details. If your email is on the same domain as your website, you are approved instantly; otherwise we review it by hand within a day or two.
02Pick a tier and start the subscription. Your invoice with VAT and tax ID arrives every month from Stripe.
03Post from the panel or from the wall, as your company: up to 10 threads a month, always labelled, and answer without limit whoever asks about your products.

Does anyone know if the Vinilo & Válvulas preamp takes moving-coil cartridges or only moving-magnet?
Vinilo & VálvulasCompany content · Friend CompanyMby Marta Soler
Both: it has a switchable internal step-up transformer. Tell us which cartridge you run and we will tell you the loading that suits it best.
Answer whoever asks about your products
In the same thread, on behalf of the company, without limit. It is what the community appreciates most: the maker being there and answering.

The rules, from day one
01Every post and every reply by a company carries the "Company content" label, visible and impossible to remove.
02Company content is never boosted. The main feed shows at most one company thread in every ten; people who follow the company or its brands see all of them.
03A company replies in threads about its products. It does not promote itself in threads that are not about it.
04Spam, fake accounts or disparaging competitors: one warning, and on the second strike the right to post is lost.
05HifiCafé's reviews are not for sale, and nothing a company posts may look like HifiCafé content.
