Vinyl "bleed through"- need set-up advice

I read this forum regularly and am amazed at the knowledge that is shared. I need your opinion/help. I have recently got back into vinyl with a Rega P9/Dynavector XX2. The issue is : I can hear what is coming up next on the record faintly a splt second before it actually plays- it kind of "bleeds through". At louder volumes it really is quite clear and annoying. I had the cartridge installed by my dealer with whom I have had a very long relationship- did he miss something? Any/all help is greatly appreciated.I use Naim amps if that helps.Thanks!

Just take it as a sign that you have a very resolving system! The pre-echo is evident on many recordings that have a silent section followed by a really loud section.

One of the best examples I've heard for this is "Whole Lotta Love" by Led Zeppelin. Right before he screams "WOMAN....YOOUUU NEEEEEeeD MEEEEH....." it is completely silent, and you can hear the echo of him doing it right before it happens.
