Playing Vinyl in a Cold Room
I have a question for vinyl lovers in this forum.
I always recognized that temperature influence on sound quality of playing vinyl.
The recommended temperature for my cartridge EMT TSD15 is 23C (73.5F).
My system is in the basement, and in some days a temperature drops there to 18.5 Celsius (65 F).
Playing vinyl in such low temperature causes bad tracking and more grainy, dry sound.
Does anyone have a similar experience?
Any idea how to solve this issue?
Should I try to change my tonearm settings - to lower VTA or higher VTF?
Regards,
Alex
