signal generators and...

For most people doing casual tinkering, digital is better as it leaves less room for error when interpreting the data. For those of us designing and / or repairing gear that need to monitor and follow trends in actual performance, analogue is the way to go. Then again, i don't know of any analogue based gear that offers this quantity of features, performance and precision at anywhere near this price. This should tell you that "digital" is just another method of "price reduction due to ease of manufacturing", it doesn't necessarily make things "better" or "more accurate" in the grander scheme of things.

Now if you want to talk about SPL meter's and what i would recommend for the money spent, .... : ) Sean

Sean...Is "analogue" much better than "analog"?

Analogue is actually the original spelling of this word. If you doubt this, take a look at this link about the word analogue and see which version is the original and which is a variant. As such, i prefer to use the proper spelling as it has so much more "flavour". I leave the other "cheaper, shorter" version for the "commoners" : ) Sean

Yea verily, thou art correct.

But pedantic. (Look that one up).

Actually, i like Olde English spelling and "font" styles. I even have that type of lettering in some of my tattoos : ) Sean
