Of course

How does one go about changing the tubes in a Lyr 2?
 
Also I am looking for suggestions on a tube upgrade from the stock Lyr 2 - looking for something with great detail soundstage and airiness but with a nice strong low end if that's possible.....

If I'm not mistaken, the Lyr 2 isn't quite as amenable to tube rolling. Not sure the details.

If you are on a budget try gold lions they boost the bass a tad without leaking n g into the mids, and the soundstage is a bit larger and more holographic. If you have the money get some Telefunken E88CC platinum tubes, which are fantastic or look for Russian tubes. There are a lot of very knowledgeable people on this amazing forum and they can help you in your quest to find the right tube for you. Also I am sorry for your wallet, for tube rolling can be addictive and can drain a wallet faster than a girlfriend.:)

you call roll tubes, in the lyr2, just for some, the tubes are hard to pull out so people get socket/ tube extenders, which make it easier to extract the tubes.

The Telefunken E88CC/692 tubes look pretty nice.  What is their sound signature like? If you could give your best shot at describing how they sound compared to the stock Lyr 2 tubes that would be greatly appreciated reddog. 
 
Also, is there somewhere I can look that has all of the information and instructions on how to replace the tubes?  Would it be in the owner's manual or even in this thread somewhere? (I haven't received the unit yet)

Really? That's it? Well heck, the Lyr 1 has that problem as well. Heck with it! Roll on, kids, roll on!

The Telefunken E88CC platinum tubes, compared to the stock tubes in the lyr 2, has really nice bass, the mids open up, become more detailed, smoother and lush sounding, the highs sound great, no sibilance. To me the stock tubes are you average scotch blend, the gold lions are a 10 year old single malt scotch and the Telefunken E88CC platinum tubes represent a 40 to 50 year old fine single malt scotch, that keeps getting better and better through use. I especially loved the Telefunken tubes, when I had the HE-400i demo set( which I still wish I had).

You can't use certain tubes in the Lyr 2 that you can use in the Lyr.  6N1P is one type.  I think it has to do with the heater current (? LOL, I suck at electronics).
