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.

DC motors don't necessarily mean that its power source is a battery, in fact most run off of a DC power source. Why all of this discussion about batteries and none about the advantages or disadvantages?
Again, the advantages/disadvantages boil down to the execution of the design in regulating/maintaining speed.
