Synchronous motors for turntables?

Iam completely dumb at TT's, and haven't ever owned one so far. But if motor speed is a problem due to variation in frequency, will it not be corrected by a optical speed sensor that many of the direct drive TT's seem to be having. Just my 2 ignorant cents :D
DD usually use DC motors and that is more easily modified :)

Yes, it will. But this servo control is not there in a lot of very good turntables. In fact, a lot of very good turntables don't even have direct drive, believing that a belt drive delivers better results overall. Typically, I believe DJ turntables and professional-use ones are direct drive. I could be wrong.
