" I entrusted to Julian at Essentialavs five cassettes which were themselves copied from reel-to-reel tapes made nearly fifty years ago. They had no commercial value whatsoever but were of immense personal value being voice messages sent between members of my family during my childhood. Four of the six persons involved have long since passed away - my parents and grandparents.
With the advancement of technology since the original recordings and the cassette player now being all but obsolete, it was important to me to get them updated into a format that will enable my descendants to listen to them.
Julian and his company did a superb job, not just in the transfer to CD but also in enhancing the quality of the recordings to a standard even better than the original. The costs involved in this exercise were very reasonable, the customer care was always first class and the entire service was completely glitch free.
I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Essentialavs to anybody, both personal and corporate, who has need to use their tape to CD transfer services. Indeed, I would suggest that further searching, surfing and comparing is a complete waste of your time - by simply being on the Essentialavs website you have found the best.
The day Essentialavs is able to transfer Super 8 cine film to DVD I will place the first order - to transfer the film of my wedding day. That is only 30 years old" J Ralph, Scotland September 2009
