I don't recall dissing your Thorens 'table; no, I only disrespected your choice of speakers: Bose 901's.
see prior discussion:

I appreciate that you are savvy and discerning enough to use separate components for home hi-fi, but your choice of gear is most assuredly NOT "high end:" it is mid-fi.
Nothing wrong with mid-fi, unless you're trying to claim it's high end.
Most of my gear IS high end.
Currently, the "main" stereo in the dedicated listening room (I have four separate music systems in different areas of the home, plus a home theater) consists of:
Ayre V3 amplifier
Audo Research LS-2 preamp
Denon TU-900 tuner
Cambridge Audio CXC CD transport, into a Denafrips Ares II DAC
Aerial 10T speakers
All connected with appropriate audiophile cabling.
This system would not just embarrass your mid-fi dreck, it would destroy your belief that you've got a good sounding system.
My bedroom system consists of:
Rega Planar 2 turntable with Sumiko blue point cartridge
Cambridge Audio phono preamp
Vincent SA-31 line level preamp
Bryston BCD-1 CD player
Conrad Johnson M-200 mosfet amplifier
Chapman T7 speakers.
The Chapmans are cool: built by a guy on Vashon island near Seattle; I bought them pre Y2K; last year I paid him $3500.00 to upgrade to current production standards, which involved replacing all three speaker drivers and the crossover using the best parts currently available.
Both systems sound sublime.
I could describe / tell you about the home theater and the other two stereo systems but that would be pointless as you are happy with what you have and are not open to new learning.
Oh, as for the six days a week: the Health and Fitness center is closed on Sunday.
I'll finish with this, a link to what I am listening to these days...
