Help on LP to CD Transfer Firms


I'm getting ready to transfer some of my more obscure lps to cd, and I was wondering if anyone knew of a transfer firm that uses high end components.
I have a Roxsan turnatble so I know how important a good front end is to get the most out of the grooves. Plus good quality converters, etc.
I cherish my music and if I'm going to trust my lps to someone I want to be certain that the transfer/noise reduction is going to be of superior quality.
Most companies I've seen on the web charge about $20 to $25 for a cd transfer and I'd be willing to pay twice that if I could be confident that the cd transfe� is true to the music on my lp.
Which is a long-winded way of saying "does anyone know of a really good transfer company?"
Much appreciated.

You index them manually as the track is over. By buying a professional unit you can you computer grade media. Right now Office Max sells H.P.'s in a spindle of 50 for $14.00 or 10 in a case for $4.00.
Ditto, you can buy a Sony CDR with SBM for $450-700 depending on the model, CDRW 33 or 66. Either of these units, coupled with you front end will do a great job of transfering.
No I haven't.

But let me clarrify, "You don't need a computer." The units I have recommended are stand alone units. As a matter of fact you can often get a used stand alone unit for $275.

But if you're really against doing it yourself, drop me an e-mail we can work something out.

I use a Well Tempered Record Player-Glider-Classe' 5MKII with a 6 Phono section-Sony SBM- Marantz CDR630.
