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.

Palasr,
Thanks so very much. I'd hoped I was near the end, but I suppose that I'm just beginning (again) :)

How/where can I get Mark Kelly Synchrotron AC1 device (240V-50Hz input / 115V output? Can you help?

You can't, as they are now unobtainable, nor do I suspect most owners would want to part with them. BTW, the Synchrotron runs off of 12 volts DC, and outputs either 115VAC or 230VAC.

Not a big fan of AC but I just made pulleys and Housing SST for a Hurst 300 RPM. It is Dead on timing but the Wow & Flutter is within 1 Icon on a KAB Strobe. Can you hear it? well on some songs. This is a Belt drive set up. You pay for what you get, if you want perfection then look around at DC with a Class A power supply.
