SET the best?
The best at what? 
Schiit Freya+ vs. high end (e.g., Mcintosh) ?
Having heard a Vidar in my system and been underwhelmed, I had the same experience with the Freya+.  Competent, and competitive at the price.  I preferred a c-j PV12L and a AI Modulus 3A.  What is your room like?  And what's the rest of your system? 
CD player options with Krell integrated & Vandy 2C
With a Krell amp, I'd lean toward just using RCAs now that Naim (finally) joined the real world (yeah, I know, it was a while ago, but my first Naim was back in 1984).  It's always easy to spend someone else's money, right?  That said, if you can,... 
CD player options with Krell integrated & Vandy 2C
If you like the Krell amp, why not try a Krell CD player?A used Naim CD5x would be great, and it has a digital output, giving flexibility down the road.   
best preamp ever - cost is no object
@euphonium - You've owned a Naim Statement?  What serial number? 
Vandersteen 2c vs Thiel CS2
Buy both, listen, decide.And I think people here would enjoy reading about your impressions if you’re inclined to share them. 
krell ksa 250
The Agon listing dealer is . . . Optimistic on pricing in general.  They had a c-j amp listed for double a NOS one from a c-j dealer, by way of example. 
Mark Levinson Owners - Camac Connector Info
I realize how old this thread is, but thought I’d offer this:Dyson Audio sells Camac to RCA cables.  A 1 meter pair of their Silver Aegis cable is $60.00 plus shipping.   
How many people here generally buy used?
Mostly used.   
Classe CAM 350 monoblock vs Classe CAM-400 or Bryston 4B3
You could also try PS Audio M700s.  New, powerful, good sounding, and cool running.And available in black!  😉 
best budget amp/preamp for B&W 805 D3s
Try a used PS Audio S300. 
best preamp ever - cost is no object
Naim Statement is the best preamp I have heard.   
Best class A+D amp with Conrad Johnson PV-14LS SE pre-amp
I've heard the Vidar in my system and thought it . . . OK.  I have PS Audio M700s and while they're excellent I prefer the Belles 350a Ref.  Out of the choices you listed, I'd go with the S300, as PS Audio has been around quite a while and seems l... 
Who buy PS AUDIO ?
I'm new to PS Audio, though have been in hifi since the early 1980s.  I've mainly been a Brit-Crit - done the Linn/Naim/Exposure/ProAc thing for a long time.  I recently got a pair of the M700 monoblocks - with all the stay-at-home orders, experim... 
Class D is just Dandy!
I've had a pair of PS Audio M700s for a couple of weeks now; I understand them to be "Class D."They're very good.  I think I prefer the Belles 350A Reference (at least in my room, system, etc.), but I could never say the M700s aren't terrific soun...
