In my research for a new cartridge I came across info which I dont recall if it was people who owned Lyra cartridges or John Carr himself but I do remember it being said that if your cartridge is in an environment that is less than 72 degrees you should use a light bulb over the table to warm up the cartridge.
Reading this I started to pay attention to the sound when I play my first record compared to one’s say a half hour in, and I gotta say this is absolutely true.
Now when I fire up my rig, I give my tube gear 20-30 min warm up then I play one side of an album with the volume off to give the motor an cart. some warm up time.
