Why do hipsters prefer analog?

I have not listened to a tube amp. I would think the highs and the details would not be as pronounced as a good digital amp. There must be a reason why audio switched from tube to digital. Is it the nostalgia and the looks of glowing tubes. Is it the opportunity to invest in replacement tubes? This might sound stupid. Since tubeamps are analog I am guessing there would not be need for a DAC. I have never had this explained to me.

Are you serious? You’ve said some questionable stuff here before, but this might be the best of the best……

Life could not go on without vacuum tubes.....

Hipsters love some of the vintage audio gear, the wood and silver ones.  They love tubes also.  I wonder why. 

I hear you're buying a synthesizer and an arpeggiator and are throwing your computer out the window because you want to make something real. You want to make a Yaz record.

I hear that you and your band have sold your guitars and bought turntables.

I hear everybody that you know is more relevant than everybody that I know.

A "hipster" has double hip replacement enabling him to flip Benny Goodman.   More Peace and Happy 4th!    Pin
