I would consider a PS that has two outputs, one for each field coil of the motor. It should provide the user with the ability to trim the phase angle between the two outputs. The benefits of such an arrangement? The ability to reduce vibrations to almost zero. Removing the vibrations could provide more sonic improvement than a motor change. A high torque motor that vibrates will damage the sound more than a low torque motor's vibes.
High quality AC turntable motor
I am looking for a high grade AC motor for my Townshend Elite Rock turntable.
The current motor is specified to run at 110v 250rpm. I reckon that it's got very little torque. I have considered the phillips and the premotec - but they appear to offer no real alternative so far as specs are concerned with what I have.
I have seen a couple of motors on the RS Online website by the likes of Berger, and Crouzet. The Crouzet motor intrigues due to it's high torque rating. my concern is whether or not it is noisy, and vibrates a lot.
Does anyone have experience with these motors? or does anyone have any suitable suggestions?
I intend to try out a few different power supplies on the deck at some point.
