Stop it you guys, let's all try and keep the discussion friendly. 
I understand Scorchio's argument, but I have to say that analogue is the better sound. I do not agree with the analogy that sound quality between analogue and digital formats are negligible and inaudible to the human ear- trust me, it makes a difference. As DJTJ has already mentioned, analogue sound is going to be richer, fuller, and at high volumes, bassier than digital sound plainly because it is an EXACT representation of the press. In other words, what the needles are running through are the exact pitches and tones that the makers of the track intended it to be. It's just like playing something straight out from a producer's recording studio.
Digital format sound is an APPROXIMATE representation of the sound. DJTJ (again) will tell you that analogue sound come in the form of S-shaped waves, and digital sound come in the form of squared waves- they have to convert the original S-shaped waves into squared 1s and 0s for it to be reproduced digitally. Sound quality will inevitably be lost during this conversion process.
I'm no expert in this field, but I think what I've just said makes sense. I, for one, can say that I've listened to enough CDs and records all my life to conclude that I prefer the richer, fuller sound of analogue.
