Do Turntables sound better with time?

I followed BMW’s recommendation for breaking in. Plus, the bike arrived with the restrictions in place. Now, a 200hp bike that is that light is a rather “intense” machine. Again, when the motor was fully available, I continued -as they called it - breaking in the whole motor. Full throttle, 3rd gear was a rare event.

Silence sounds better with time.

No.... I just found a Garrard Lab 80 circa 1968 in my Dad's attic and although it runs , it sounds like crap.   Very cool and nostalgic.   Has prompted me  to search for a modern table and very good cartridge.
