Well, folks, let me put it this way:
	The Nakamichi Dragon turntable doesn't use any fancy
digital SIGNAL processing on the signal. It does some computations,
ONCE, to figure out the excentricity, that don't involve the signal
path at all, and then does a MECHANICAL compensation.   The signal
path consists of two things:
	1) A cartridge of your choice
	2) A good, low capacitance sheilded cable to the preamp of
your choice.  

(Not very digital now, is it?)

Why is it that you assume that it's doing fancy digital signal
processing?  Frankly, there isn't a pitch shifting algorithm good
enough for AM radio, so I wouldn't worry about correcting 
turntable excentricity digitally for a while.
