Used Amp Under $1000
For those speakers McCormack or Classe 
Verity Audio Parsifal vs Vienna Acoustics Kiss
If the seller is truly "local" go listen for yourself and find out which one you think is better otherwise asking here is just a guessing game with people pushing their perceived favorite.  I own Verity's and I won't tell you that  they are absolu...

Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
The Keces unit is another option.  Their LPS's are getting glowing reviews.

The Six Moons.com review on the Mhdt Labs Orchid DAC just went up
No need for the over priced Cardas adaptors, just buy the Neutrik ones online or at places like Guitar Center.   
Considering Vandersteen 3a Signatures
@tomic601 But none of those amps you mentioned is a tube integrated.  Closest thing is the Hybrid MR.  Contrary to the Spatial specs they need power to sing and those amps you mentioned would all do a better job plus the upgrade to the compression... 
Considering Vandersteen 3a Signatures

Another new DAC: Audio Mirror
Website says to contact them so I suspect you e-mail them and provide your contact info. 
Need to replace a BAT VK200 amp with a smaller and lighter but with equal sound quality.
Look for a used Odyssey amp and then you can give it a try with little to no exposure to loss if you don't like it.   
Vandersteen Model 1 or Focal 726
If that's not the current version of the Model 1 and you like them then an upgrade to current would be my first thought and look for a used sub.  Next step would be used 2CE Sigs as Focal and Vandersteen have nothing in common sound wise.   
RCA plugs for Cardas Quadralink 5 interconnect
The Eichmann's are good plugs and if you received good service before then buy them from Douglas and/or ask him for a recommendation.  
Wells Audio MAJESTIC or Modwright KWI-200 Integrated Amplifier
Dan has a new Hybrid integrated coming soon. Is supposed to be based on the SWL 9 and 150SE. 
Lightning quick DYNAMIC amp in the under $1000 range
@mrdecibel No doubt the dual STA-200's will be fine but again the Khartago is upgradable and an easier match with more preamp choices.  I had to buy the STP-SE to get the Job 225 to work out as it was incompatible with the other preamps I had on h...
