Tiny bridges everywhere, but why?
OP.The good thing I see in your room is carpet, wall to wall, which is good.Would you/have you tried your system on the long wall? Short wall can be fine but it looks like your speakers are a bit to close to the side walls. Usual (but not limited ... 
Tiny bridges everywhere, but why?
Izjjzi,Careful with cable riser recommendations, their effects are limited at best. Tried it with little to no results. Be careful with certain individuals that will get you charging down deep, dark rabbit holes.Just another way to spend a lot of ... 
HDMI ARC or Optical out ?
I have been using a Wireworld Supernova 7 glass optical with good results. It's surprisingly affordable too. 
Denafrips Ares II vs MHDT Orchid
I think you can get the Denefrips for just a hair over $800 new. 
$2000 Tektons, which one for my use?
I think the addition of powered subs has something to do with that high output. 
$2000 Tektons, which one for my use?
I think a lot of those used Tektons for sale is the speakers weren't the original buyer's cup of tea.They probably figured it was easier and less costly to sell out right rather than go through talking to an indignant Erik Alexander and going thro...

Nagaoka MP-150 vs MP-200
@williewonka Steve, duly noted, your money, your ears, your choice. I have no problem with that.@chakster Well comrade, while we are airing our "dirty laundry" I'm at least willing to give that gentleman the benefit of the doubt. I have done my ow... 
Vintage speaker suggestions
Dahlquist DQ-10.Or Snell Type B, which are better than DQ-10 but more costly and harder to find. 
$2000 Tektons, which one for my use?

Nagaoka MP-150 vs MP-200
There is a gentleman, Chinese I think who runs a hifi shop. His YouTube name is hifivinylnews. He does a lot of cartridge comparisons and likes Nagaoka. 
Nagaoka MP-150 vs MP-200
Steve, Perfectly fine you have your own opinion. We all hear differently. Can be very system dependant too.From my own experience, I owned  Soundsmith Boheme, $1k cart. The Nagaoka MP-200 I bought for $385 simply sounded way better than the Sounds...
