Turntable power supply/motor’s role in SQ for belt drive TT

I owned three Linns. The SOTA is far superior. Is is not funny and I am dead serious. The Linn has so many weaknesses it can not be repaired. What do you think all these upgrades are about. It is just that back in the day it was the best table you could buy but look what it was up against. I kept going for supposedly better tables only to swear and return to the Linn and tip toeing around my apartment. By today's standards it is worse than a cheap Technics direct drive and everybody her knows how I dislike direct drive tables. I do find the Grand Prix Monaco very intriguing. I  love the aesthetic.  

@mijostyn - I’m happy for you that you like your SOTA and respect that you moved on from the 3 Linns that you previously owned. If you had done a proper wall mount you would not have had to tiptoe around your apartment. Can we get back to the task at hand though? I mean this thread is not about whether or not a Linn turntable is bettered by some other design - that’s why this hobby is so cool, there are lots of legit designs. 

I’m probably going to go with the Lingo 4 for cost reasons which is an AC design. I’m going to have to inquire or audition to determine bass sound quality/articulation between the Lingo 4 AC motor and the standard chassis Radikal with its more exotic DC motor. 

You may want to look at the motor/controller offered by SOTA:

In two separate experiences, I have found that a motor controller, with or without a feedback mechanism, dramatically improved the performance of a belt-drive and an idler-drive turntable.  First was with a Nottingham Analog Hyperspace for which I bought a Walker Audio Precision Motor Controller, sort of with tongue in cheek, because I did not expect much if any difference.  Holy Cow, it was major.  The most significant improvement was in the ability to hear separate instrumental lines in the context of complex musical passages.  Next level improvement was bass definition. This sounds like audiophile BS even to me as I write it, but it's a true description of what I heard.  I then replaced the Walker with the Phoenix Engineering Eagle PS and Roadrunner tachometer, which does provide feedback to the Eagle.  That is even noticeably better, then on my Notts, and now on my Lenco idler-drive.  You're better off with an AC motor and a drive system.  The Phoenix stuff is now marketed by SOTA, as Bill Carlin just told you.  His stuff works.
