Vinyl to Digital

Without unduly fueling the debate of digital vs. analogue -- I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who has converted from vinyl to digital and is happy. My speakera are Proac 1SC my table is a WTTT&A with a vanderhull cart. I listen mainly to jazz, chamber music & vocals. amp/preamp currently tube and will probably replace with Cary300sei. I am also considering a xary cd box player.
Thanks for your thoughts.

David, should you ever come across Carmen McRae doing "Carmen Sings Monk" on LP, I have been looking for it for a long time.

Maybe you were lucky in one of those boxes of LP's?

Reading an interview with Ed Meitner, he stated that Sony and others are archiving their master tapes to DSD format(SACD). If you wait a little while, the pro digital recording equipment for DSD recording will be somewhat affordable for a serious person wanting to archive an extensive LP collection for posterity. SADIE(a pro rec.equip.mfr.) currently has a system out for $28000. I know that's alot but look at what always happens when new technology comes out - prices soon drop. I think that if Sony and others are using this DSD to archive their billions of $$ worth of master tapes, then it's probably good enough for us too.
