Read Doug Deacon's last post again. He gets it.
Zavato said, "stick with a design that has an AC synchronous motor and a platter heavy enough to have some flywheel effect."
I could not disagree more. Flywheel effect caused by the platter is the reason many turntables lack micro dynamics, or sound lackluster in more general ways. It is a simple case of letting the platter control the speed, rather than the device assigned the job, the motor. That doesn't work, if you want a turntable that is truly precise.
