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?

Gosh Millercarbon is spot on for a change!
I have a spotlight too as well as hair drier for the cartridge
And my tech guy is building a bespoke phonowarmer so I can plug into  the phonostage and "tickle" it until all bits are warmed up. Saves cartridge wear and getting up and down changing lps just for the sake of warm up period.
45 minutes is about right for me too for all parts of the chain to gel together. First unwarm period - meh ... 
Warmed up - Yeah
