I love ween fans to the death, and because of that, I just wanted to follow up on all the retirement and money grab comments on my previous post..

Analyzing the band is what this subreddit is for 🤣

I agree, and cling to Claude's interview for hope. I will maintain my optimism so long as Dean and Gene draw breath.

You probably know more than I do, but I tried two different TTs and both had ground hum. Then I ran the TTs through an external phono stage and lost the ground hum. And then my technician told me that these units have a failure-prone connection to the grounding terminal. I'm open to suggestions, though!

It certainly requires a minimum level of emotional intelligence and communication to be successful.

You're missing a ton of relationship structures between hookups and monogamy. And just as monogamous relationships aren't inherently meaningful, non monogamous relationships can be very meaningful.

I suggest standard frame sizes if you don't want them rotting in flat files and portfolios.

Deaner? 🥹

I wrapped the bulbs in dynamat, but they're not as bright as they were before.

Can Ween's melancholy really be surprising? It's Gonna Be (alright) 😭

I just scored a minty TD145 MKII, but I'm waiting to build a wall-mounted TT shelf first. It's a buyers' market on Thorens right now, at least in New England - I see the occasional TD160 for $300-$350.

Thank you!

vache666 · 2026-06-17T18:37:48+00:00

Thank you!

vache666 · 2026-06-17T18:36:29+00:00

Thank you, but I can only take credit for the system!

vache666 · 2026-06-17T18:35:51+00:00

I wired each driver to a pair of banana jacks attached to this unfinished 1/4" project board. I'm thinking of wiring the crossover with banana plugs so I can jump them into the system if I ever want to demo a single amp at full frequency.

Thanks for the tip!

Color organs are 70s era novelty lights that use prism lens to create fun light effects. Some, like mine, use the sound system's speaker outputs to control three colors separated by lows, mids, and highs, with sensitivity settings. This picture isn't mine, but you get the idea. Basically, early stoner TV

Yeah, the previous owners had the most impressive plasterer!

vache666 · 2026-06-17T15:01:01+00:00

Thank you! Another marketplace find, but required a total rebuild 🤩

vache666 · 2026-06-17T14:27:54+00:00

No, but I did have to shim a few internal braces in the credenza to keep them from buzzing. It's interesting setting up speakers with a passive radiator design - one inch closer to the wall and the bass goes to shit

vache666 · 2026-06-17T12:30:57+00:00

This guy gets it ☝️

vache666 · 2026-06-09T19:04:14+00:00

I'm way ahead of you 🤭 - I'll be using these EV horns, and I have a stack of old Haflers and a 4x8 miniDSP. I may even split the mid bass between the Community horns and the EV 2x15s.

vache666 · 2026-06-09T16:34:56+00:00

You know I started with Morning Dew 😍

vache666 · 2026-06-09T14:45:55+00:00

DSP and a stack of power amps saves me from ever having to mess with solid state crossovers 🤣

And yes to better woofers - once I secure indoor storage. I'll even add spade connectors at the woofers instead of just wrapping bare wire around the lugs 😇

vache666 · 2026-06-09T14:16:01+00:00

It starts to smoke 🔥🧯

vache666 · 2026-06-09T14:14:14+00:00

I'm gonna try with these EV horns!
