@uwiikz-- couple comments about your room and set up if you don’t mind.
First, it looks like you have hard tile floor- those tend to be reflective. A nice rug will change that without absorbing too much energy;
Second, speaker placement. I know some people use their stereo for TV viewing, which may explain your set up, but at least cover the screen when you do critical audio listening. The screen is reflective and can mess with the image. I don’t like over damped rooms, but shifted away from having anything between the speakers, including gear rack-- which is on a side wall. (the amps are adjacent to the speakers but sit low and I run long interconnect).
Some people disagree that having the equipment rack between the speakers is significant, but at a minimum, I find it to be a distraction.
Jim Smith’s Better Sound has a lot of good no cost suggestions for room set up and you should be able to get it via Amazon.
Glad you got the table and arm set up. What cartridge did you have installed?
