Either one will work fine. Some folks prefer the analog because the needle doesn't jump around as much as on the digital.

i got the old school rat shack analog, and it works great. in fact, they are fazing out the old analogs for the digitals, and you can still find them pretty cheap at selected rat shack stores.
i got a few for me and tom tuttle about 6 months ago for $15 bucks each.. pretty good deal!!

The usual route, especially for subwoofers, is to go with analog. I would think with such a large following in the audiophile community that Radio Shack would be silly to phase these out. Still, you can still find them avaiable on their site, as well as on Ebay. If for whatever reason you can't find them at either I know you can purchase them through SVS's website.

Actually, the current RS SPL is the replacement of the previous model they "phased out". I agree with Toy here - they will likely intro a newer analog model.

Rat Shack already has a new analog meter. I went looking for an old one and the salesperson showed me the new one. Its almost exactly like the old one. The dial is a little different. The only numbers I can find on it are 33-4050. I think it cost close to $40.00.
