Powercords for Canary Monoblock Preamplifiers
I own CA-339's for awhile. Tremendous amps.Buy some Volex cords. They work just great.Don't waste your money. 
Joseph Audio?
They're around. Their new monitor speaker the Pulsar just got good coverage from The Absolute Sound in its last edition on what it liked at CES.You don't see a lot of them for resale on Audiogon because people, like myself, that buy their speakers... 
Juicy Music Blueberry vs Audio Research LS26 or ?
What tubes are you running in the Blueberry?You will be able to reduce tube rush somewhat by changing out tubes.As an aside, you may need to decide between a little noise/fun and alive vs. total quiet/dead-sounding.The Blueberry is an extraordinar... 
Canary Reference One Mono Blocks
Sjevo -What is the Reference Two?I though Canary agreed to not make a Reference model anymore since they make them for Western Electric.They even removed any reference to the Reference from their website. 
Musical full-range in the $3-4K range used?
Joseph Audio Rm25si MkII used.Perfect for what you are describing.

Canary Reference One Mono Blocks

best pre -amp under 4000$
What power amp?Assuming tubes, I would look at Juicy Music Peach, on the cheaper end, or Shindo Aurieges-L, on the higher end. Solid state, i have heard great things about the Parasound JC1. 
Tube Pre-amp under $1000
I second the idea of finding a used Peach. One can roll in some NOS 6DJ8 tubes and have a preamp that can hold its own against far more expensive competition. As TVAD says, its low impedance mode can be used to drive any solid state amplifier that... 
Tube Pre Amp replacement for Manley Shrimp.
I owned a Shrimp. I greatly prefer the Juicy Music Audio Peach to the sound of the Shrimp; just has more soul. Oh - it also has remote control and has a low imp. setting to drive low impedance (solid state) amps. 
Tube rolling my preamp with 6922EH
How much are you willing to spend?NOS tubes are definitely the way to go but they are pricey. 
Tube rolling my preamp with 6922EH
What preamp? Some are more sensitive to tube rolling than others. 
what should i keep, shindo or mcintosh
Agree with mikeyc8 - you don't know what the Shindo is capable of without the Aud23 speaker wire and shindo ic's.
