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!

Thank you, Varyat, and everyone... I have always wondered about this phenomenon... and now I know!

I was afraid to ask anyone because I thought I had done something stupid in the tt setup despite my best efforts.

I too have done the best tractor Mint LP setup and it's an awesome change.

:) listening,

Its been a common problem,even in the 60's and 70's.I've had Numerous different TT's,arms,cartridges and even linear tracking ones reveal it.

The ambient noise or background noise level in your listening room can make a difference too; if you have a really quiet room oftentimes you will hear pre/post echo details that you don't hear in louder listening rooms.

Another recent album with both pre/post echoes is the Cowboy Junkies, Trinty Revisited. A great record by the way!

The example of "Whole Lotta Love" definitely demonstrates the phenomenon. However in THIS particular case the reverse reverb was intentionally added by Page by flipping the tape around. Although I'm NOT sure why...we are still talking about it all these years later so I suppose that's why he did it ;)

Apparently this is a common problem, just last week I started the exact same thread worded differently. There some good explanations posted in it.
