Frepec,
Your speed issues are not uncommon with turntables without a speed controller. I found myself in your same situation when I had a Wilson Benesch turntable and ended up buying a speed controller for it. I went for the Clearaudio Synchro since it also cleans the power fed to the motor, besides controlling the speed.
It is possible that the speed is faster because of voltage/frequency you're getting from the wall outlet.
I totally agree with you in that all turntables should come with some sort of speed controller if you spent more some serious cash on it, since accurate speed cannot be guaranteed by the manufacturer.
Pro-Ject makes some affordable speed controllers, if you're interested in not spending much. I think the cheapest speed controller will be better than no controller at all. It's puzzling to me that Pro-Ject can come up with a very affordable speed controller, but the higher-end companies can't.
All the best,
iSanchez
