RE: Anyone experience this? If so

Actually most records are slightly eccentric so don't worry about making the hole oversized - ream them out so you can properly centre them. Not only do you solve the wow issue but the jump in sonic quality due to eliminating or at least minimizing the lateral loading on the cantilever is not subtle. You will get better imaging and tracking ability. Eccentricity of the disc basically induces additional tracking error as well imbalanced forces on the stylus akin to the skating force since the cantilever is skewing left and right due to the inertia of the arm - there is a lag in the movement as the groove eccentricity acts on the stylus first and then the suspension makes the arm follow later.
