I find that my Kleos always sounds better on the second side of the LP. I usually play an album side while listening to another source before I even listen, so that I can enjoy the full LP.
How long before your cartridge warms up?
Wondering if people would share how many sides of a LP must be played before they believe their cartridge has warmed up and is on "full boil" so to speak. My Ortofon MC Anna seems to like about 2 to 2.5 sides of an album (e.g. 33.3 rpm) before it really comes to life. This is something I am just starting to notice as I am fairly new to analog.
