Ayon CD2 is AMAZING
It's easy, unless you have fat hands. Just 1/4 turn to remove tube sleeve and pull tube straight out. I wiggle mine a little and it comes right out. The smoothplates were wonderful in my pre-amp but not that good in the Dac which was eye opener si...

I would definitely take it slow before dropping down 5K on outdated technology. The Minimax is that good and it does get better with tube rolling. Telefunken smoothplates didn't work well in my system, better focus, detail, imaging but the soundst...

Speaker Axis ?
My ears are about 12" above the back of my chair.

My listening distance is 10' from the speakers 
Speaker Axis ?
I'm 6'2" and my chair is 18" off the floor. I could remove the cushion but that would only put my ears at 39".I do have outriggers on my speakers but that can cause issues in itself trying to tilt. Some speakers have a window like the Vandersteen ... 
Spectral amp choice+ Eidolon
Any particular model? The speakers are not power hungry 
Spectral amp choice+ Eidolon
Guys,Which Spectral or any good quality amp would you recommend to use with the Ascendants? Don't want to use any MIT cables and will use my current pre. 
Tube headphone amp?
Thanks for the responses guys! 
Belles 22A users yet?
