MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3?

I've read the entire thread and am very interested. My CDP died and I'm thinking about getting a CEC TL5 and an Orchid. I have mild tinnitus and I've been out of audio for a while as a result, but getting back in. This sounds like the DAC for me since I prefer warmth over neutrality and my collection has tons of poorly recorded discs that have sounded less than stellar on some high end systems I've heard. I'm more interested in music than "resolution." A  few questions:

1. How long to get from the US distributor? Wondering if they have stock or if we're waiting on international mail. Which might be a problem at this time. 
2. Where are people getting the tubes? Previously, I had bought tubes from Upscale Audio but I don't see the Western Electric there. 
3. Should I get the Tung Sol upgraded one MHDT offers? Though that would be less interesting to me if it slowed down shipping.
4. As someone who would be listed in the "do not let near a soldering iron" class of individuals, is there someone that does the mods?
5. I listen to mostly rock, punk, alternative and a fair amount of jazz and classical. Wondering if it can keep the rhythm of rock music. Don't want something too 'polite' if that makes any sense. 

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your resposne. I realized (duh) I could contact them and they were speedy in response. I'm about to pull the trigger. Where did you get the tubes? Looks like a lot of different places. 
I also realized I could buy one and if it didn't work out it would likely get sold here pretty quickly. I'm going to go with the Tung Sol. Doesn't sound like anyone sticks with the stock tube. I'm looking for one of the Western Electrics as well. 

@gelle  Thanks! I don't see it but I'll ping up and let him know what I'm up to. I 'spose everyone's doing what I'm doing except I'm late to the Orchid party. Mine should be here in a couple days along with a CEC TL5. I got the Tung Sol upgrade from Linear Audio (nice guys to deal with) so I can try that with stock until I can find something a little more ooh, la, la. Thanks for the response.
