Vinyl LPs To CD

I would like to transfer some precious LPs to disc. What hardware and software do I need to make a sonic transfer that preserves the beauty of my vinyl LPs? I have a Gyro SE with Origin Live Silver 250 arm with a Lyra Lydian cartridge. CD player is Arcam FMJ DV27. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Johnny

I have a friend whom I've made some transfers with. He has all separates. His transfers are excellent. I am glad to hear they're are making some recorders with decent built-in converters.

First, if you want to do it well, you should look into a separate analog to digital converter (the opposite of a DAC).

MSB makes a couple. The MSB Pro (Model PAD-1) lists new for $799. The Audio Director (Model ADD-1) lists new for $599. I see used ones for sale from time to time. I think there is an Audiogon dealer who sells for 10% off list. Information is at www.msbtech.com

Sony makes a few models that are less costly. There are many models. The ones that come to mind are the PCM-701ES and SBM-1
