Class-D recommendation
Have 3 class d amps from classdaufio.com.Had them for 7 years. outstanding quality, performance, support.best value in audio. 2 are bridged for mono - easy to do  Very highly recommended.  
Do any still use an older high end tuner from the past?....
Mac MR-67, Accuphase T-100, Sansui TU-9900 and Mitsubishi DA-F20 - all superb with a whip antenna 3 stories high,pointing to a great classical station in CT and WQXR in NYC - the MR 67 rules with incredible sound, but the Accuphase  and Sansui not... 
Is anything better than the Accuphase T-100?
Either my IPad or Agon is deleting texts, so I apologize for all the duplications!,please edit, editors:) 
Is anything better than the Accuphase T-100?
I own 4 tuners:1. Macintosh MR 672. Accuphase T 1003. Sabsui T 99004. Mitsubishi DA-F20They rank in this order, with the MR 67 being by far the most appealing in terms of sound: the warm midrange, the depth and soundstage are superior, even if the... 
Is anything better than the Accuphase T-100?
Sorry, I got prematurely cut off. The 4 th is a Mitsubishi DA-F20.They rank in my opinion in the order I’ve stated - the MR 67 having  clearly the best sound, tubey warm midrange, great death and clearly the winner when it stays on station; the ac...

Fm tuner
I recommend any Mac tube tuner first, followed by the Accuphases, Sansui  9900 and then the Mitsubishi DA-F20, which is a great tuner for the likely price you will pay, if you find a mint one. I have the MR 67,, which I bought from Audio Classics,... 
Looking for a Phono pre around 1K
Jolida Jd9.absolutely superb. Use a MC cartridge. Preamp TRL The Dude, Sota V TT, OL Illustrious arm and it doesn't embarrass itself in this vaunted company.replaces an EAR phono,preamp and I don't hear a deficit!Try the Jolida.  
Best Tubed Preamp For A Warm, Rich Sound, Yet Still Detailed and Agile
I was looking for exactly what the OP is looking for and I found it in the TRL The Dude, which I would rank first, and the CJ Premier 16 LS. Also the MP 1, but not with your amp. I currently use both the top rated 2 above and they will be my last ... 
Regarding Joseph Audio Pulsar Loudspeakers
The Pulsars are absolutely superb. No weak spots; clearly, because they are monitors they don't have the bass of huge floor slanders, but their tone, highs, midrange are magical.i know of no better speakers for $7000 (list) 
Unique problem - one channel silent under different variables
Confirmation that it was the amp - replaced with another amp and no muting or popping....... 
Unique problem - one channel silent under different variables
I just switched it on cold and switched the left and right cables (there are 2 pairs as I am biamping) and sure enough, the left amp turned off after 5 minutes. So it's the amp! So it cant be the preamp, since the right channel is supplying the le... 
Unique problem - one channel silent under different variables
Yogiboy, I think you're right, because my last preamp was silent on left side and is currently being checked. Never thought it could be the amp - could transients and "pops" emanate from and cause a ss mosfet amp to shut down? How?I will do the ex... 
Unique problem - one channel silent under different variables
Al,Thanks for your thoughts. I have found that if I leave the preamp on constant standby, the issue is resolved. It seems that the unit/tubes/caps/resistors work if kept "warm". Forgive my indignation at the thought of doing anything with power on...
