I might be. I listen to all my music at home on vinyl. But it’s because I legitimately like it and have since I was a little kid before I even knew it was cool. And on my system with hide cabinet speakers they legitimately sound superior and I’ve verified this through a/b testing of the same songs. Whether it’s because vinyl is actually better or if vinyl releases are just mastered better is irrelevant because the vinyls I have sounds better than the cds I have.

Do hipsters a/b test things to verify sound quality? I’m the type to do that too, but I always felt hipsters claimed things to be superior regardless of any proof… not that I really know much about hipsters. I’m 42, so i think I’m too old to be a hipster or to even understand them.

Oh… and I hate to do this, but the plural of vinyl is just “vinyl.” I worked at a record store for a few years and saying “vinyls” was forbidden. Wait a sec… maybe I am a hipster!?
