Warm up time for record playing

@mijostyn,

My suggestion is from a purely 'warming up your ears with sound' standpoint.
Not which medium sounds better, but if there is the same difference in sound the op is hearing from his turntable after that time, or if there is not since his ears are already warmed up pre record playing.

Given the varying opinions on the subject, why don’t you, for the first 45 minutes or so of your listening session, play a different medium such as streaming or CD, then put on a record. If you still hear a difference after a certain time, you have your answer. If you no longer hear a difference, you have your answer.
