Analog vs. digital circuits

[resistorwizz]

Which do you enjoy working with more, analog or digital? And what draws you back to it time and again?

I'm all about that analog life. Just love the feel of it, y'know? Getting hands-on is what keeps me hooked.

Well, every circuit is analog - you have to be concerned about bandwidth, crossover and feedback even in digital circuits, although not so much on the lower clock frequencies.

I've always loved working with discrete components - resistors, capacitors, inductors, transistors (and the occasional tube). The challenges are fairly straightforward, although there are the occasional demons in the machine!

I usually use the analog for, I just think it's easier. it's been a few years. now, I'm learning digital circuits too

Totally. Breaking things down into smaller parts keeps it real, and those little “demons” are what make the tinkering so much fun
