I think I’d like to get a Schitt Lokius (if anyone is selling!) to do some light EQ’ing. I liked what I heard using the EQ on the MOJO2 (w/ a Cayin C9 amp). I think it make sense to tune the headphones to my liking before i start down the path of tubes…

I highly recommend the Schiit Lokius. I use it with headphones that need a little more bass or recordings that are a little too bright. It works wonders!

Liquid Platinum is truly singing the heavens with RFT ECC82 'foil getter' tubes (in Pulse Tube Store adapters) ...

Newbie here. English is not my first language, so please bear with me.

I have a Meze 109 Pro and a LCD-X (post 2021 version). My setup is Cambridge Audio MXN10 connected with an optical cable to RME ADI-2 DAC and then connected with a balanced cable to Liquid Platinum.

What tubes would you recomend to tame the brightness/sibilance of my 109 Pro?

And what would you recomend to "quiet"/reduce the shoutiness when paired with the LCD-X?

I've read about the Gold Lions (post # 1.743) but I don't even know how to search for them on Amazon or eBay.

It has been a while since I posted but I am asking for help again. As I post this I forgot which tubes I upgraded to (they were less than $150). I am still disappointed with the lack of tubey sound, soundstage and holographic sound. I do like the detail and separation. I use a Geshelli J2 AKM dac and have OG Anandas. I had the Xduoo MT-604 previously. It had the tubiness I liked but it was a gift and one of the sockets broke.
I am trying to decide it I should sell the LP and get something else or try better tubes and maybe try socket adapters. I am nervous about trying adapters. I don't want to go over $400 if I can avoid it. Will sell the LP here if I go a different way
I'd love any advice and tips.
Thank you and peaceful listening.

If it is "tubey" sound uber alles that you seek, Liquid Platinum is not so suited. LP is a VT / SS hybrid - its "tubeyness" therefore has a limit.
