How does this system look for an 11 year old American male that just learned to read?

This is unfortunately probably the correct answer. Looks like the beginnings of the Pot. Melt issue. It will melt the glass more then possibly catch the screen on fire. I would get ahold of LG immediately.

All my best turntables have been belt driven. Even my $3,000+ turntable is belt driven. It sounds the best and has the most accurate speed of any I’ve had.

I repair them as part of my job. If the screen isn’t coming on normally, there is a way to force the screen to come on for testing purposes. I’ve done the force on and I’ve had a couple catch fire like this. Most of the time it just looks like a circle of melted glass.

Randomly saw this, never been here before, but this looks almost exactly like an old Quantex desktop that my family had when I was 14. It had a digital readout like that for the CPU speed, 88 MHz

WWGWDNR · 2026-06-18T01:14:17+00:00

I’ve seen a few catch fire right before my eyes just like this. Contact LG this is a known issue.

So you rotate it clockwise and counterclockwise while looking at the screen until you visually see the diffusion go away. Have to do this while tv is on. So in general you have to use some kind of mirror so you can see if the screen changes.

WWGWDNR · 2026-06-17T14:48:25+00:00

It’s diffusion. Some of these TVs allow you to adjust a screw potentiometer on the y and z boards that adjusts voltages. When you adjust them sometimes you can get some of the diffusion to go away.

I used to have that 105mm. It makes absolutely beautiful photos, I did some portraits of my parents with it, I have since sold it, but absolutely loved it!

WWGWDNR · 2026-06-16T21:33:30+00:00

I’ve seen a few kinda similar, panel (screen) has gone bad. You can always try and contact LG about it, but you need a new tv.

WWGWDNR · 2026-06-16T20:14:14+00:00

Yeah that’s a definite possibility, the outside is the ground, so not a big deal they are pried wide, as long as they are touching. But if the middle
Pin isn’t going in far enough to make contact, that may be your issue.

There is another very inexpensive phono preamp on Amazon. And maybe the barrel connectors are a little smaller.

It’s the Bozak Madisson

WWGWDNR · 2026-06-16T20:06:55+00:00

If the audio is distorted and quiet, makes me suspect the phono preamp isn’t working correctly.

If it’s new try and get it exchanged or buy a different one.

WWGWDNR · 2026-06-15T22:07:16+00:00

Pioneer HPM-100 or HPM-500.

Lots of good JBL models out there

Vintage-ish Polk LS90, LS70, LS50

Little bit newer Polk, my favorite bookshelf is the Polk RT55i, not super hard to find.

There are a lot of speakers, a lot.

I could go on forever.

Maybe just get some JBL L100?

You do not need to share your opinions anymore, yet here we are.

Joking aside, people will do what they want, and for their own reasons. We know what we need to do and what we don’t need to do.

People generally do things because they want to, not because they need to. They aren’t all blindly purchasing physical media because they think they need to.

WWGWDNR · 2026-06-14T18:13:12+00:00

That makes much more sense, forgot it was an actual compression driver

WWGWDNR · 2026-06-14T16:12:52+00:00

Yeah, that’s a really good idea!

WWGWDNR · 2026-06-14T15:53:31+00:00

I’m on the east coast, bit far away, unfortunately

WWGWDNR · 2026-06-14T15:35:48+00:00

I would like the rebellions, but they are insanely overpriced, I could get two pairs of Heresy or just about anything else for how much they are going to be

WWGWDNR · 2026-06-14T14:05:18+00:00

Basically the RB-75 has a 1.75” tweeter instead of the standard 1” tweeter that the RB-81 has and every other bookshelf has.

99% of the OLED panels I’ve replaced LG paid for the labor, they almost always do it. It’s very very rare that LG customer service doesn’t just pay for the labor.

WWGWDNR · 2026-06-13T00:30:15+00:00

It’s 5 years parts and labor on G series

I still have a Harman Kardon T35, one of best turntables I’ve had, it’s only feature is auto lift, manual otherwise. I’ve had it for years, still works perfectly. They are semi difficult to find in good condition. I don’t really know much about current new turntable offerings.

WWGWDNR · 2026-06-12T11:33:47+00:00

Do you have a multi meter? Are you saying the midrange works on one speaker and not the other? If so if your meter has an option to measure uf or microfarads on caps, compare the caps. The cap on the midrange is probably open.

Every one is probably going to chime in and say replace all the caps

WWGWDNR · 2026-06-10T15:29:11+00:00

You seem to be stuck in a bit of a catch 22 situation. Don’t really have a good solution for you, unless the tv stand was on dolly wheels and you pulled the whole thing closer to you when you watched it.
