I've noticed this phenomenon with many of the receivers I've listened
to for any period of time (especially when using headphones).  Sometimes
I even get small leakage when the tuner isn't engaged at all.  Odd.

I've been wondering about something related to playing records that bugs
the hell outta me - on some records there is a very faint "ghost" of sorts
that comes about a second or so before the real signal (eg. when listening
during the space between songs, the beginning of the ensuing song can be
heard faintly to precede the actual music by about a second).  Some of the
records I have (like OMR's and other half-speed masters) are pleasingly
free of this disturbance.

The question in my mind is this:  are there any turntables around that
can handle this sort of quirk?  Also, how on earth do the recording
companies get away with this sort of bad-quality production?  Ack.
