Where to get advice on a new system build

It’s come a long way. Certainly worth a listen. I went in not expecting to be thrilled and was quite surprised, especially considering the price of some of the amps. I got the mono blocks with the added op amp buffer, so you can actually chip roll! The amp was 3k and it is every bit as good as mor far more expensive amps. Of course, every amp sounds different and you need to pick the one that catches your ear. Have fun shopping. 

Thanks @earthbound , I am in it to learn, so I appreciate the inclusion. I’m not ruling anything out until I start listening 

At Montreal Audio Fest ( Quebec )  ; Altitudo Audio ( Manitoba ) offered their expised gears , as demo , at great rebates . . So ones could have  left with , for example , speakers heard and enjoyed at the show , at a great price.

I do not know if others dealers do the sane at audio shows.0

Start visiting audiophile systems if you can find one , who can guide you. Then figure out what system looks and sound you like. Be careful with dealers there are few who are honest to meet your need but their need. So start also bringing audio stuff in your own place see if you will like them? I warn you the audio journey is a very long journey stressful, tiring but if audio is your passion it’s fun. Lastly get the book of Robert Harley. And go to YouTube.Good Luck.

Op 20 yrs ago  there is a guy in Florida who reach out to me and help him put up his system by phone for free. I just want to help him enjoy this hobby. According to him , he read some of my post and saw my systems here at Agon. My systems at Agon are not updated.you can pm some of the members here if you think they can help you.
