Recommendation Amplifier to match with Shindo Aurieges for Devore Fidelity Nines
If you can't afford a Shindo I think the next best choice would be Line Magnetic. What is your budget? 
Woodside MA50
Not much to see. Put them on ebay and you will find out the value if they sell. 
New or used cartridge
If you like used cartridges keep buying them 
Phono stage gain too high??? Should I return it??
That tube has less gain, but it will also sound much different instead of the way the designer planned. 
Rega Planar 3 hum resolve.
The best fix is to get a turntable not made by Rega. That will fix your problem. 
Phono stage gain too high??? Should I return it??
You have the wrong cartridge for your phono preamp. You need something with less output. I think .4 to .8 mv would be suitable. 
Luxman L590AXii vs Accuphase E-650 for a Shindo lover
Get the Luxman, as the Accuphase is not worth 50% more.@stereo5 Shindo does not make an integrated or SS amplification.

Magnepan 3.7i Amplifiers Aesthetix or Modwright? Thoughts?
@73cuttysupreme,I was using Quicksilver V4 amps. I currently use Proac speakers. You can see my system which is posted on Audiogon. 
Magnepan 3.7i Amplifiers Aesthetix or Modwright? Thoughts?
I have an Aesthetix Atlas and Calypso. They are a great match together and my system has never sounded better with the addition of the Atlas. Great grip and control on the bottom with a sweet, but detailed and articulate top. 
Lyra Delos A truth teller or what?
You may have altered the alignment slightly when you changed the screws. It does not take much sometimes 
Tube amp for Vandersteen Treo CT?
In my system (I have it posted here) the Aesthetix Atlas was better IMO than the Quicksilver V-4 amplifiers. Not a direct comparison I know.One of the biggest improvements was bass control with the Atlas. It has also been flawless in operation. On... 
noisy tube preamp
@lukaszwk,You might get better help if you disclosed what preamp.Sounds like it might need new tubes.
