My deck sounds a little better after awhile, maybe 20 to 25 minutes. I initially thought the turntable power supply had to get settled in before sounding it's best. However the same thing occurred with both of my Radikal power sullies and the Lingo power supply as well. So now I'm wondering if the bearing system needs to run awhile before sounding it's best, with either the Cirkus or Karousel bearing.

But now I accept it, and wait. It's worth it! I'm not sure how knowing why would help...
Knowing why will make no difference whatsoever to the listening experience, but it would be good to understand the why, particularly for those who think it impossible for such a condition to exist.

+1, yes, the same issue (in my case 20 to 30 min.), but with totally different equipment including tube amps ...

In my experience a system -even if kept turned on all the time- only truly warms up musically when sound is going thru it. Although this will all take less time if kept on.

Yes, this is the case especially with Naim Audio equipment ...
Turned on all time + signal from Tuner at very low level to have signal / sound all the time thru it ...
