Why aren't there any used Jolida JD9 on the market
They go in cycles. Early in 2013 I was looking for a phono pre and there were JD9's listed every week for a month or two. Keep looking they will show up! 
Great deal? But won't ship
Yes, several times. I take full responsibility for shipping and have the seller use my FedEx shipping number and bill myself for the shipping and insurance.The only thing the seller has to do is get the equipment to a FedEx facility. Pretty easy m...

5 best selling newish speaker brands in 2013?
@River251: I own the Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOnes and the KEF Reference Anniversary LS50s. In the past I have had Dynaudio, Vienna Acoustics, TAD, Volent and Sonus Faber. The Linn I was referring to is Linn Audio of New Hampshire, not the UK Linn.

Evolution Acoustics, Vapor Audio, Selah, Linn, Clearwave and Salk. I have listened to all of them and I like something from all of them. I am an owner of one.

Just a marketing thing. A way to mark up and rebadge cables already in the inventory. I am sure there is a huge profit to be made. Plus, they can sell as a single cable. Most IC's are bought in pairs.

High powered amps for low sensitivity
Zd542,Yes, same amp. Should have read model 112. I love it! 
Comments pls.: TEAC vs Marantz CD/SACD players
I am a huge fan of designers and manufacturers who use Burr-Brown DAC's in their products. Second choice would be Wolfson. 
Cleaning Method
I like to use Camera lens cleaning fluid. It is gentle but effective when it comes to grime and film residue. I also think you may have success with the Goo Gone. Try in a inconspicuous area to be sure that it does no damage to the surface you are... 
High powered amps for low sensitivity
McCormack DNA 250, 500 or the 750 Mono's. I also like the Coda and Threshold amps. You can also easily find the Belles 350a that would be similar to the previously mentioned amps.Personally, I use a Rowland M112 with my Evolution Acoustics MMMicoO...
