Turntable spotlight

Anyone using a good turntable spotlight/ lamp hot enough to warm up a cartridge.

Don't think LED type are hot enough.

Why would you want to heat up the cart? Surely warming up a mechanical device would require the cantilever actually moves?

A 60W anglepoise should do it?

Cartridge operating temp ideal about 21oC. My lounge is about 15oC. :(

An old trick to get a cart near full performance quicker than just sitting at room temp. This time of year particularly in cooler rooms. In the winter months in cooler rooms this will also affect speakers too. The rubber in the mechanism is stiffer in the cold.
