Analog Preview?

When playing vinyl during quite passage and at the start of new tracks I can hear a low volume preview of the two to three notes of what is coming next on the record.

I using on SL-1200 Mk2 with an ortofon 2m blue cartridge.

I assume this is due to a misaligned cartridge.

Can someone provide an explanation before I start messing around with my cartrdge alignement?

Thanks and happy new-year.

Thank you Dave for the complement. I guess my system is more resolving than I expected. And thanks Elizabeth for the more detailed explanation, I checked it and it is exactly one revolution of the record.

This said it remains anoying, especially when lsitening to classical music. I have great recording of Bach solo piano pieces and during certain silent moments you faintly here the coming notes. I suppose I will have to keep the volume a touch lower.

Since my intial post I upgraded my cartridge from a 2M blue to a benz glider (night and day!).

It seems that the glider has minimized the occurence of the pre-echo, but it still occurs on some records.

Cabbiendi, unfortunately I do not have any Bach piano recordings on DMM vinyl but I do have other recordings and I have not heard any pre-echo on these.
