I have a lamp next to the table illuminating the turntable while listening in the dark. I am glad to hear that it also has practical benefits too!

Do cartridges need warm-up?
Just curious: I know that my phonostage, pre-amp, and amp (all tube) sound best after a couple of hours of warm-up. It seems like my cartridge also likes to play a few LP sides before it starts giving its best. I'm wondering if I am imagining things or if this is a known phenomenon. I'd be interested in what other 'goners have observed. Thanks.
