Albert Porter sells some good ones on Audiogon. I'm aware of the sonic improvement that Oyaides make, but the Hubbells will definitely add some warmth. Squishy footers, or at least footers that aren't hard or pointy will also help, although I gather that the downside of these is that they smear the images somewhat, but tonal balance trumps imaging for me.

Another way of adding warmth is with power cords. Cardas cords will do this, but I've been much more impressed with the Electraglides. They enlarge the soundstage considerably. For speaker cables and interconnects, I have used Cardas to take the edge off of things. I gather that their newer lines are more "neutral", but the traditional Cardas cables, i.e. Golden Cross, Cross, or Twinlink, can warm up a system. However I see that you have Audioquest speaker cables, so the Cardas might not be that much of a difference tonally.

Any way, I hope that some of these observations are useful to you.
