I have a Platine Verdier, which I used originally with a standard AC supply - very good it was then. About a year ago, I bought a Battery PSU (GT Audio in the UK - www.gtaudio.com) supplying DC power to the motor, and this transformed the Platine - much quieter, less surface noise, greater dynamic range - one of my best ever upgrades. If all DC power supplies are similar, then go for it.
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.
