Anyone Made Any Really Good Copies From Vinyl To CD Or Files Using An A-To-D Converter?

I have a lot of vinyl that never made it to cd.  Has anyone here made any really good copies from vinyl to cd or to digital file?  If so, what A-to-D converter did you use?  Do you get really good sounding copies?

I'd love to make digital recordings of some of that vinyl....a lot of those albums have only one song on the LP that's worth listening to, and I'd rather not fire up the phono rig  and go to the whole ritual to listen to just one song.

A few friends have liked the Apogee and Alesis A-D units for this. Fremer does this frequently, so somewhere on his site, he’s probably opined on the topic. Cheers,

Yes, but it's a very tedious and time consuming process.  I've used Apogee, Drawmer and Prism converters and each has given excellent results when I pay attention to the details.  How will you be playing back your digital files?

I started with the benchmark converter, but then moved to the Ayre converter, which made a nicer polity recording. The Ayre converter is really excellent.
