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

than you eric ! you comments are really helpfull and i’m definitely keeping you posted
i feel that the ms5’s have a lot of potential , i ended up with them after a LOT of researching
as it goes sound wise i feel like the best sound i will not get it from vinyls ,, there is a whole new world bulding the right set up for records
thats why i got the  benchmark dac3 to cover my digital source 
but i definatly have to build a decent to good TT set up , because that was the reason i decided to invest on a high end sound system , i really love music and many if not most of my favorite music comes only on vinyls

A great start indeed.  You may want to do some research on the TDK RFI filters, some say that they have a negative effect on the sound of audio systems.  Good luck.

Dimitri,
 If you can run dedicated lines to your audio room (you are an electrician), you should do that. When you do, remove all the filtering stuff (some audiophiles will disagree) and plug all our equipment directly into the outlets. Listen for a few weeks.
 Sell all the filtering nonsense and buy more records.
My humble opinion...

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!
