Keith Jarrett may never play again
Sorry to hear about Keith’s stroke, but well known musicians have been dropping like flies lately. We have even lost some contributors to this forum recently.  The only positive we can take away is a reminder that we never know when our good healt... 
Upgrading from my Bluesound Node 2 streamer
emil, The Lumin app and also the roon app do not work well with Android devices.  You have to use an Apple phone or tablet with both to get decent performance.  I don't understand why these big players in the streaming world can't develop or buy a...

SRV!
Thanks for the heads up. I've seen this in the past and it is a great show.I wish ACL would show both of the entire concerts this show is edited from.  I wish they would do that for a lot of artists.  I'd love to have access to their vault, but I ...

SACD
Acoustic Sounds and Music Direct sell SACDs. These are the online stores for Analogue Productions and Mobile Fidelity, both of whom produce SACDs, but not very many of them.  Music Direct has sales 10 - 15% off around holidays. 
Lumin app, Teac HR streamer app, Esoteric app problem.
The problem may be with the Teac unit itself rather than the app. I have read that some people have had problems with them. Who did you buy it from, used or from a dealer?You may be aware of this thread already, but if not, check it out: https://... 
Lumin app, Teac HR streamer app, Esoteric app problem.
Are you using an Apple or Android controller?  The Lumin and Roon apps, two that I know of, do not work well with Android devices.  There may be other apps with a similar problem.  These are big names in streaming.  I don't know why they can't p... 
How the hell do you select a tube?
Check with Vintage Tube Service, Brent Jessee, or Jim McShane.  If you call them have some idea of what change to your current sound you'd like to hear with new tubes.
