How many times can u visit a hifi store before it annoys the store if u plan on a purchase


I plan on buying a McIntosh system C12000 and 2 MC611 monoblocks in a about 3 months from this Stereo shop I have chosen. I’ve been to the store about 4 times over the past year and half to listen to various components trying diff equipment.

My question, is, what would be considered visiting the store to much before I buy a system? I plan on spending over 20k but I didn’t know what is proper etiquette.

Build a close customer/salesperson relationship and they won't care how often you go back. I had this in my dealer decades ago (back when customer service wasn't an exception). and was allowed to listen to systems & components costing two to four times what I had bought from them. Not only did it validate my home system, but it allowed me critical listening time to see upgrade paths. I have recommended this store to many other people which has probably "paid" for my extra visits ten time over.
