Do Turntables sound better with time?

@noromance The only viable reason I can think of that might cause that would be the spindle oil needs to heat up a little to thin out so the table can reach full speed. In which case I would use thinner spindle oil. Who is to say it is not the cartridge warming up. Theoretically it's rubber suspension might soften with a little temp build up. The cartridge is a transducer as are loudspeakers. Older turntables may drift with temperature but not if they have AC synchronous motors. 

I would politely say that if it is your turntable that needs to warm up there is either a problem with the turntable or the noggin. 

Audiogon question of the day paid for by @rauliruegas purveyor of fine Mexican Tequilas. Does noromance have a problem with his turntable or the noggin?  The winner gets a 7" 45 of the Tubes White Punks on Dope.

@corelli Why did the chicken Cross the street? It was suicidal and hoping to get run over. 

Or it is over filled. This will cause rolling resistance even in a plain bearing design.

Bearing 101 do not over lubricate, more is not better.

Bearing uses a proprietary grease so, yeah, it needs thinning or spreading. Manufacturer’s instruction. Cartridge is Decca. No rubber.

Things will change over time; bearing oil or grease can deplete, capacitors will fail, speed stability can degrade / wow and flutter can increase … BUT obviously depends on what make as to what (if any) of those things are relevant or audible. Otherwise, no, anything you hear changing is probably your stylus wearing out.
