Bought a system without auditioning, thoughts?

Long story but I ended up buying a system without auditioning a single component and haven’t set it up, what are your thoughts? Technic SL 1210 GR, nagaoka mp-500, eversolo dmp-a6, pass labs xp 17, pass labs int-250, klipsch forte iv, Cardas clear Cygnus speaker cable, Cardas clear interconnects, Cardas clear Cygnus phono cable.  I know I don’t need the int-250 for the klipsch but got a great deal.

I almost always buy equipment without auditioning.  It is difficult and expensive to audition.  And I make pretty good decisions on equipment.  I rely very little on published reviews is one of my secrets of my success.

I just calculate what I will lose if I need to promptly resell.  Often with used equipment that number is 0.
