why performance increase after pause?

Anyone notice that after pausing, once the gear is fully warmed up and has played several cuts, it immediately sounds better and then after a while levels off as before? I have several amps and notice the same thing with all of them. Could it be the CDP, pre, speaker crossovers cooling down?

Davehrab, which CD player specifically have you found this to work with? The same with more than one of the same model?

I'd have to think that if this works the player is either defective or poorly designed and would be looking elsewhere.

I have found Davehrab's tweak to work on virtually every CD player or transport I've had--Krell, Sony, EMM Labs, Forsell. Some people call it "jogging the laser". Never understood why it happened, but it does seem to happen (things sounded a little more focused to me), if only for a short time.

If so then one more reason to dump the CD player and go to a music server.

Does anyone hear a similar effect with a music server?
