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?
