Audiophilehi, I am in the exact same situation. I have a Brinkmann Bardo with a Lyra Etna PU and for some reason I like it more than its digital counterpart.
A friend of mine has a 30 000 USD analog rig and a 30 000 USD cd/transport/dac set up. And they sound different to each other. I prefer the former. So does the owner. But that is just a preference.
To me, analog and digital are two different "routes". One is a boat ride on the ocean and one a trail in the mountains. Choose the one that fills you with the most amount of joy.
