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.

Get the room right and get the setup right and you should be a happy camper. The room and the setup will affect the majority of how it sounds. Nice choices of equipment. Enjoy!

I almost always buy equipment without auditioning.  It is difficult and expensive to audition.

My experience is the opposite. Auditioning is relatively easy. What's expensive is not listening before purchase.

I guess I am going to learn a hard lesson.  Any thoughts on potential different speakers that could be placed close to a wall?

funny thing about life is that one often gets exactly what they deserve... 🤣

seriously, it is all good stuff, hope it works for the op

Hope it works out and if not, that you have return options for all of it.
