1) Pitching of 78s is an activity that requires you to play the same part of a record over and over again, while adjusting the speed, and this causes demonstrable wear, unless you use an ELP Laser Turntable.
Yes, it requires repeated playing, but no, it does not require that the disc itself be played repeatedly - only twice. In my own work, I do an initial transfer, determine pitch correction, then transfer again with the correction. The determination requires repeated playing, but that is done digitally.
