Yah, I've heard it before, but never knew what it was. Last time I had a decent vinyl set up was in the early 2000s (TNT/Grasshopper/Audible Illusions) and remember it, but the rich vibrant knowledge base which is the internet was nascent at that time and it never occurred to me to look into the phenomenon. If it's normal, I'm cool with that. But what causes it?
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?
