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

If you are there to genuinely look and learn, with an intention to buy something some day, somewhere, just let them know. Most dealers are understanding.

However, if you are not serious about buying right now, and just looking, they’ll appreciate knowing this too - and/or so they can go help others in the store.

Most are acutely aware of tire kickers and online shoppers. It helps to let them know what you’d like to do. Ya never know, sometimes they can work something out for ya on a purchase -and- offer valuable warranty support later if something goes wrong. My local 56-year-in-business dealer developed loyal customers this way. 

The approach that’s worked for me is to be courteous and professional to everyone, period. What’s really gonna wear on you is trying to sum up every potential client...I’ve been in the investment biz, owned my own mortgage banking company, and been a pro musician producer and sound tech and it never pays to be rude. You never know what's gonna be referred to you and if you think you do you're wrong.

It's sad you have to worry about this, esp if they've made you feel this way. I can imagine if it's Best Buy or some other big box busy store they may see you as a "cry wolf", situation. But most hifi stores of the caliber who carry the equipment you're looking for should understand this: "Today's dreamers are tomorrow's buyers!" If they act put off by you, keep bothering them all you want and when you find the exact pieces you want, buy them elsewhere.
