Thanks for the reply.

I'm using a really high sampling rate (96KHz). The reason for the "odd amount" is that's typical of what's needed to maintain the pitch. Having "perfect" pitch, even slight variations flat or sharp are easily detected and annoying. Some 78s were recording at different speeds and I adjust for correct pitch as needed.
