Which NOS tubes on my ASL 1009 for more warmth?
I was planning to spend approximately $400 on a quad of Mullards and a bit less on a quad of 12au7's...but that depends on how much difference they make. Where would I see more noticable improvement? I bought the amp used I'm pretty sure the caps ... 
Amp for Sonus Faber speakers
No offense to anyone here intended...but you should join sonusfaberclub.com as it's restricted to SF owners only. There is a guy there very passionate about his Grand Piano's and system matching, I'm not sure which version he has but you'd get som... 
Sonus Faber Guarneri Memento's
I would highly recommend an Audio Aero Capitole Mk11 run direct to a power amp. My Guarneri Homage are great with 60 watt tube monoblocks but I don't know what will work with Memento.

I have a Neunce shelf under my AA cap (which made a big improvement) wondering what type of cones/footers are reommended? Ken likes the DH labs but I'd prefer something with a sharper point (less slippery) and is threaded for my cdp..thanks. 
Audio Matiere Quilber
Proud owner of an Equilibre here...it's my 10th amp in the past 5 years and I'm truly smitten. I have not owned it for too long but so far no problems. I had the same concerns as you but the sound can't be beat anywhere near that price range by an... 
HELP: I need a solid state amp with a tube sound
Off the top of my head the sweetest sounding in about that price range would be the Rowland Model 2...but this suggestion might not mean much not knowing what speakers are being used.
