I was in Hollyweird today for lunch. I was next to the CNN building and thought about your retirement - wow, must be nice!

What's the advantage of the analog over the digital? I kind of remember it being that the analog was supposed to be easier to read as the values might fluctate a bit. I bought the digital (before seeing that) and haven't had trouble reading it. Is there something else (besides the extra $15)?

Analog meters are generally better suited to taking readings of events that "move", as they are easier to "eyeball average". Dubbing stages use the same RadioShack analog meter to check the calibration of their speakers each day.
