... The photo ain't great. I like your gear though.Some problems with the pic:
Not enough light overall: this makes the picture grainy and reduces the resolution. The lighting is too contrasty, especially given that the main light source is behind the components. Thus the speakers for example tend to look like black blobs The picture is not level, i.e. it's slightly tilted; this isn't so obvious in you main photo but is painfully obvious in some of the others you have provided. I have some simple suggestions:
Place a lamp or two in front of the components To prevent fibration, set you camera on tripod and use the self-timer to delay the shutter release Alternatively, use a flash to illuminate the scene. Even the camera's built-in flash would produce a better result than we're seeing It's difficult to get photo precisely level: sse a simple photo editor to level the shot. Irfanview is such a simple editor and it's free.
