Would you like to be enjoying your cassettes tapes, 35mm film negatives or VHS tapes in today's new media players?

Are your cassette tapes, film negatives or VHS tapes sitting idly in a dark, dusty closet somewhere? Did you buy a new car only to find out that it did not come with a cassette player or even an option for one? Or, are you a member of the "Transition Generation," those who have witnessed the technology shift from analog to digital?

Maybe you still maintain a cassette deck, a slide projector or VCR, which you use to listen to your tunes, look at your pictures and watch movies just as you have for decades. But it’s more likely that you’ve been staring at those piles of tapes and slides and wondering if there’s some easy way to transfer them to the latest technology. You have imagined on more than one occasion how nice it would be to have your pictures on your computer orhave your music collection and VHS tapes in a format that can play in your car, home stereo, MP3 player, iPod*, portable CD player, computer or DVD player — without having to buy them all over again.

The consumer electronics audio industry has responded with a plethora of affordable transfer devices. BUT, with all of the choices which one is the best for your situation?

Vinyl records are making a comeback
Do you have something to play them on?

Nearly killed off a decade ago by compact discs and digital music downloads, the mighty vinyl record is fighting its way back onto turntables across America. Do you miss the sound of Miles Davis taking a breath as he prepares to blow into his horn…or the sound of fingers sliding across the neck of the guitar while listening to Santana? These sounds have gone away with the digital age. LPs are making a comeback; even Best Buy will be carrying them.

Although CDs have a wider dynamic range, mastering houses are often encouraged to compress the audio on CDs to make it as loud as possible: It's the so-called loudness war. Since the audio on vinyl can't be compressed to such extremes, records generally offer a more nuanced sound.

Portability is no longer any reason to stick with CDs, and neither is audio quality. Although vinyl purists are ripe for parody, they're right about one thing: Records can sound better than CDs.

Another reason for vinyl's sonic superiority is that no matter how high a sampling rate is, it can never contain all of the data present in an analog groove.

Turntables are hot again as well. Fueled by nostalgic baby boomers, young people drawn to the obscurity of the technology, scratch-happy dance DJs and music aficionados seeking a richer sound than compact discs and downloads can provide, LPs — using technology dating back to the 1800s and Thomas Edison’s first phonograph — are taking the music industry for a spin.

The consumer electronics audio industry has responded with an abundance of affordable turntables. BUT, with all of the choices which one is the best for your situation? Well do not fear, Price Delight’s Technical Support Department has provided the following list to help you determine the solution that is right for you…
