"Highly Recommended! I contacted these guys requesting special delivery postage on an Electro-Harmonix effects pedal as I needed guaranteed delivery on Saturday morning. Their responses were incredibly fast & everything went like clockwork, possibly the easiest & most flexible music equipment dealer I've ever dealt with! Big thumbs up!"
Fergus, 30 October 2010

"Dear Julian, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the exceptional service received. It was with some trepidation that I entrusted you with my precious vinyl albums recorded in the late 60s to mid 70s. Any anxieties I had, however, were soon dissipated when after just a week I collected my CDs. I don’t know what you did but the sound quality was significantly better than the originals. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending your excellent and prompt service." Ian McCann. March 2010

"Hello Julian, this is a short e-mail to you to thank you most sincerely for your professional services in copying tracks off an old audio casette tape on to CD for me. I am absolutely delighted with the end result. Please use this e-mail as a recommendation for your services which I regard as absolutely First Class. I can now listen to the recording of a Spitfire at the Biggin Hil Air Show of 1972 without fear of the tape chewing up and being broken and useless!!!" Mr B Girling October 2009

" 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" Mr J Ralph September 2009

"Thank you so much for the excellent tape to CD transfer you have supplied for my label. It was amazing to listen to my sixteen year old audio project once again. The quality, depth and clarity of your work is indeed "Essential". Your fine digital restoration service managed to restore without stripping away the warm analogue patina of the master tape. I will highly and unreservedly recommend your services to one and all". Chris (SZR) Music - July 2009

"Julian, Thank you very much for your help with my tape to CD transfer request. It is very rare these days to find such a good service in this country, but I must say I had a very good feeling about you the moment I spoke with you over the phone. Your service exceeded my expectations with a fantastic job which I am very happy with. People don't fiddle with transfer anymore, just contact Essentialavs and let them do whatever you want. Thank you again." Marumi Greenham, London - 5/6/09

''First of all the customer service is excellent, i ordered my Pioneer CDJ1000 very late at night and still got a prompt reply, my item was sent immediately the next morning and received 2 days after (EUROPE). Paying with Paypal is secure and fast too, so I must say it cant get much better then this one"! Cyprian 21/1/09

”This was a very good investment for us. Richard (who installed our screen and DVD) gave brilliant advice on where and how high to mount the screen. He also talked us through how we could develop the AV system in the future (computers, home movies, music, surround sound), walked us through how to use the system in terms of recording/finding stations etc and did a lovely job putting up the screen, which paradoxically made our room look bigger. We are really pleased. ” Kate Vick. January 2009

"Hi Julian, just a note to say, thanks for the great job on the ‘head butting incident’. I really appreciate the skills of your engineer, I was very pleased with the result.
So pleased in fact, I would like to send you another recording". - Bob Watkins. Dec 2008

"Dear Julian. I am writing to thank you for the work you have carried out for me. A very precious recording has been cleaned up and is now in far better shape to listen to. Although the process took some time you always answered phone enquiries promptly and the charges for the service seemed reasonable. Once again, thank you for taking such good care of this special project. Yours sincerely, Ian Reynolds"

"Hi Julian. Thank you for your great service. This was my second time using Essential AVS and the installations were superb on both occasions. The installers arrived the same day (worked past working hours to finish my job), and made my living room sound like a movie theatre. Thank you again E. AVS", Felix Vosk

"Dear Julian. Just a note to say how pleased we were with the service you provided. Prompt, courteous and very professional. Once again many thanks." - Trevor Burke QC

"Dear Julian, I wanted to take this opportunity of letting you know how pleased I am with the service I received from Essential AV Services Ltd. Not only were you able to provide a rapid service for installation of a wall mounted flat screen TV, you also gave invaluable guidance on product selection. Your engineer, Richard, arrived promptly and exactly as arranged. He took the time to carefully review the proposed location for installation and gave good advice about the positioning of some of the ancillary pieces that I simply hadn’t thought about. He even undertook a bit of light carpentry to conveniently re-position some shelving! I am so pleased with the quality of his work that I have asked him back to re-do my computer cabling – the legacy of a less professional installation.
It is really nice to know that you guys take as much care in your customers’ homes as I know you would in your own. Thanks very much"
Jennie Emerson - Managing Director Parkside Recruitment LTD. November 2008

"I purchased some music hardware from Essential AV at a cheaper price than anywhere else i could find, online or off. A quick email for a quote from me was followed by a call from a member of their staff confirming the cost, and the item was delivered the very next day in time for me to start working straight way.
From enquiry to delivery was a little less than 20 hours, and at this price?!! Fantastically easy, fast and very friendly service - if only all companies were this good. Many thanks to you and your team". David Lintern. October 2008

"A very big thank you to you all for your fantastic work and patience on Saturday at 'Wellbeing Live'. You guys were brilliant and helped make the event a great success.
Thanks again and I look forward to working with you all again." A Fleming - Richmond Towers Communications. September 2008

"I found the tech support that Essential AVS gave me invaluable, they
are also really nice guys with a helpful and
experienced approach, which makes you feel confident
that you are going to get what you need technically.
I would definitely want to use them again, and
wouldn't bother to look elsewhere as I know they are
professional and keen to help out, which you don't
always get when you need that kind of specialist tech
support.

I was in a real dilemma regarding my recording system and they
rescued me! I am a composer and was in the middle of
recording my latest album when my system just packed
up and stopped working, no sound, no nothing. I was
desperate but the tech guy I had previously worked
with was no longer available.

I searched the web and found Essential AVS. From the
start, despite my going on about all the technical
problems I was experiencing, I felt that everything
was going to be okay. They were able to sort out my
sound card problem, and in fact got me a much more
reliable one at a fraction of the cost of the one that
was causing me all the problems. They also passed the
discount they get on equipment on to me which was
really good, I thought.

I live in the west country so I travelled up to London
to cut down on costs, so that Julian could have a look
at my system and set up the new sound card. It was a
very relaxed and friendly session and he's the sort of
guy who makes you feel at ease.

Since using the new sound card everything has been
brilliant and the album is now complete and that's in
no small part down to Julian's technical skill. I did
have a few teething problems when I first set up on my
own when I got home but once again, when I rang for
advice they were on it straight away, just really
helpful guys.

I will need tech support in the future when I upgrade
again and possibly for live stuff and I will be
contacting Julian for that. I would totally recommend
Essential AVS to anyone who needs their specialist help, and
their fees are very reasonable too. Keep doing what
you're doing guys...."
Pia Silvi - March 08
