my first hight end sound system , please don’t ignore

hello my audiophile friends !!
out of my passion for good music i have decided to build my very first hight end audio system , i bought a pair of dali euphonia ms5 in mint contition with very few hours on them, an edge NL10 power amp , a  benchmark dac3 pre amp , 3 runs per speaker - tri-wiring terminated with high-end plugs “ rea cable “ wires made from pure silver , and 2 RCA stereo pair ,, my next purchase will be a power supply and i am currently building a table for my audio eqiipment made from granite and sorbothane , i also bought TDK clip on Emi Rfi filters , and hight end Single Crystal Copper Power Cords ,, i will start slowly doing my researh for turntables and hoping not to spend more than 3000, 3500 on that , 
i’m i in the right path ? i would apreaciate tips suggestions and help , i am new to this with some basic  understandings about audio equipments

Oregon,
thanks for the advice, i will definitely try both ( with filters and without ) and have that in mind
also i just bought a power plan for all my audio equipment , i think it was the best think to do

I have to agree w/ oregon. Personally I tried using a power plant only to discover that my system actually sounds better without it as long as I was on dedicated electrical. A power plant benefited my system somewhat when I was unable to run dedicated power lines; was quite the opposite when I finally got a place where I could do sole use electrical.
In no way do I have disrespect for power plants; they can serve well if there is a lot of noise & / or devices on the same circuit. In my case I heard a lower noise floor - but dynamics suffered.
In a dedicated electrical environment, I did discover that power cables made more of a difference, making a very good system sound rather stellar, especially if you can run good wiring along with good power cables!
Hope my experience helps; Enjoy The Music!

thank you ericjcabrera !! 
question...
does the dynamics also depends from the power plan? ,, i bought the ps audio p10 , and ofcourse with good power cables and wiring

Try listening with & without power plant; I think your system will be very revealing of the effects, probably even more so than my system. For mine, after dedicated lines, I ended up selling the power plant in favor of being without it & have never turned back.

As for power cables & wiring; when I got dedicated power, I experimented with running my entire system on generic run of the mill cables & then all high end power cables. The difference is nothing short of amazing; I cannot explain why, only that I definitely hear a marked improvement w/ high end cables. Cleaner sound, lower noise floor, much improved three dimensional holographic imaging, less fatigue & the list goes on . . . 

The other cable I upgraded to high end was speaker cables; they made almost as much if not more improvement than power cables did. Upgraded interconnects made less improvements for my system than did the aforementioned; I stuck with mostly silver on my single ended IC’s & copper for my balanced IC’s.
