Are more turntable motors better?

Many thanks to all contributors to this thread. FWIW, I have just received a new Alpha power supply, two motors, and a variety of belts for my Final Tool from Otto, the new proprietor of Acoustic Signature. After I install a Triplanar VII and ZYX Universe on it, I will do some serious 1 vs. 2 motor comparisons, and report back. By the way, I'm going to start a new thread about this, but I can't say enough good about Otto - I had given up hope of ever getting my Final Tool working again, but Otto has really come through.

Unfortunately, it will show nothing new, because you don't know, how good these motors really are.
That's why multi motors from same manufacturer always sound different to single motor. When they have flaws, it is not so obvious. They compensate each other.

A real comparison would be, to use a real good motor as comparison (for example from Micro Seiki..)
In Germany I know a few who replaced- for example - the Raven motors, no matter how much (1 or 2...) with really high quality industrial motors and they told me, THAT is an real improvement....

Syntax,

Do you know the details (models, sources)on any industrial motors that were used successfully? That would be great to try. May even cost less if they're not originally intended for audio!

Hi Klinerm,
not really, some use the big motor from Micro Seiki, some have DIY motors (but very professionally made because they know some technicians) and one gave the Raven motors to a factory, they used the housing to implement their own design.
But even that Raven will be on sale the next time, the owner has some other turntables and will let it go, even with improved motors.
A - real - good turntable design is not so easy in our modern time, I guess.
No wonder, digital became such huge acceptance.

Well, I guess I'm going to finish up my own thread. I've now had the opportunity to listen to my Final Tool through a quite high end system with 1, 2, & 3 motors for a few weeks, and it's in my opinion a no-brainer that 1 motor sounds best. Of course, this finding probably will not generalize to all turntables on the market.
