Default Motor selection for high-end belt driven turntable

Hi-

I have a high quality turntable I built years ago using a platter and
arm purchased separately. The turntable is driven by a synchronous
motor that is controlled by a variable frequency oscillator. The
motor has a limited torque and I would like to replace it, perhaps with
a DC drive, or with another variable frequency drive. I suspect that
the synchronous motor with a finite number of poles works in a stepwise
fashion and a DC drive could perhaps drive the platter with less
flutter.

I have only a limited knowledge of drives and I would appreciate an
advice regarding:
(1) AC or DC, and
(2) Where to obtain it.

Thanks in advance.
