Yes, It is fairly common for Rega TTs to run a little bit fast.
Sometimes there is a perception of the sound going a bit slow, when you are hearing alot more detail. I know that sounds kind of funny, but I have even read reviewers making that claim in their reviews, when the TT had "spot-on" speed, but sounded a little slower, due to the detail and quality of the sound.
I don't claim to know the reasoning behind this, but it is just something that I've read people claiming. Perhaps it is actually a "psychoacoustic" phenomenon, since you have clocked the speed, and it is not slow, but actually a touch fast, but sounds slow.
