In this case you got the straight poop, but when it comes to the Internet, trust but verify.
Early Faint "Phantom" Turntable/Vinyl Signal???
So, I'm getting an early, faint audio signal coming through the speakers (from my vinyl) which immediately precedes the full volume signal. It is the actual signal of the music, which I can hear very faintly. What is this phenomenon? Is this a TT/Cartridge issue? Phono Stage?
