Warm up time for record playing


It seems that my records don’t realize their full sonic potential until about 45 minutes of playing. Even if the rest of the system is already warmed up.
Does anyone have an explanation for this?

My TT sounds best when it’s been running for about an hour and air compressor and motor has stabilized temperature and pressure wise, that’s when speed is very steady too. My SS phono needs about 30 min, the tube pre needs 45 min to sound it’s best, cartridge about one LP side. I try to stick to one arm at a time for this reason. I try to play thin record together as my LT arm is set to play these best. The pivoted arm is less sensitive and will take 180g record and thicker. Yes i am crazy !
