Diving into the world of tubes...help needed!
Brandon, I don't know how sensitive your speakers are. If the PrimaLuna is powerful enough I'd be willing to bet it's a "keeper" if you try it. I run a PL Dialogue integrated and have owned many tube rigs over the decades. It is the best sounding ... 
Streaming Audio Cuts Out Frequently
George, I suggest going to RoonLabs website and FAQ section. They address the issue you're describing and the possible causes and solutions. Good LuckLarry 
What are the best Room Accustic Treaments members have found?
davidrolson, forgive me if you already know this. Room treatments generally address damping (absorbing) or redirecting sonic reflections. if you do some research, you'll have a good handle on what your room "needs" Many of us have made absorption ... 
Tube integrated for Joseph Audio Rm25xl's
PrimaLuna gives a 30 day free demo courtesy of Upscale audio. I don't know the power requirements of your speakers. I own a PL integrated and am very satisfied. 
Hey K.....tt, Do you even have speakers??
50+ pairs of speakers!!! That's mind boggling. I've had my present von Schweikert's 15 years and before that some nice MartinLogans for 13 and before that Klipsch Cornwalls for about 10 years....

$27,500 for whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat???
"Vanity Brand" comment, I love it. I too agree Wilson makes some aesthetically challenged loudspeakers. I have never, ever, understood their appeal. I have listened to a few over my life and never felt "wow"  
How to use Tidal app with Lumin
you most likely will only be able to use the Tidal app as a bluetooth link on your Lumin. BTW, I have a T2 and really like the Lumin app although it took me a day to figure it out, now I'm very happy with it. 
Qobuz Special Offer
I'd like to try Qobuz but didn't subscribe after the free trial because my Lumin and Qobuz would not allow Artist by alphabetical listing. It was a real pain in the rear. I'm hoping that changes then I'm onboard with Qobuz. 
Upgrading-Clear Days to Nordost Tyr 2 or Frey 2 vs Cerious Matrix IC's and speaker cables
I went from expensive Nordost (oxymoron?) to ClearDay cables and never looked back. I feel kind of foolish for what I paid for the Nordost and have absolutely no desire to try other cables. Once you have synergy you stay put IMO. 
Can you tell the difference between Tidal and Spotify

Dazed & Confused
Almarg, I agree with your assessment plus a lot of very hard surfaces there. I set my SL3 Martin Logans about 9 feet apart and toed slightly inward. the OP’s gear is top notice and I suspect it’s the room’s sonic character or once again, the recor...
