Allow me to be pedantic: More bang for the buck with Digital.
I enjoy the analogue vs digital debate and I do come down on the side of digital. But let me say this: My absolute two best pieces of recorded music ever are both LPs. Stravinsky's Rite of Spring on DG with Claudio Abbado conducting and Elvis Presley on a Living Voice 45 rpm recording. When I have demo'd these I have got gasps of admiration: 'In the room' 'I can hear the breathing'. But this is a minority, from 3rd place to ... dunno 20th? all are 24 bit 96 Khz or 24 bit 192 khz recordings.
I do love my LPs and ... I know there is is no clear answer to this ... I have to work out for myself what I have to do to get the full benefit of an analogue source.
