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.

Good luck, not sure I would ever do that but it's just money.

It appears that you rely on the Eversolo DMP A6 for streaming and digital-to-analog conversion. Its internal DAC performs only above the average and will likely leave much to be desired with a truly hi-fi system. It is recommended that you consider investing in an external DAC to match your system.  Without auditioning of course.

You are over thinking it before you even try it. RELAX.

You bought good stuff, let it all break-in while you treat your listening room. A year from now, you can over think it and start the component swapping as needed.

Int 250 is one of my faves. The fortes iv are great too - enjoy, this is a wonderful setup. Wonderful.

The only part I question is the pass with the fortes. My experience with the heritage line is that they sound best with tubes. Who knows though. You’ve got great stuff and it might be a match in heaven. Have fun finding out. 
 

cheers
