'Motor' on over to Audio Asylum-Vinyl Division and ping Mark Kelly. The guy knows way more about motors that you'll need to know, and is kind enough to share his knowledge. He's done gobs of work with controllers, AC DC, etc., and will be able to answer any question.
AC vs DC motor?
OK...I am getting more and more interested in a new turntable and tonearm so will be coming to you all for advice and direction. I have a VIP Aries with the 10.5 arm and a Heilkon cartridge. I am interested in a Teres or Gailibier but both have DC motors. Please tell me the advantages or disadvantages of this type of motor.
