My turntable has a very basic/simple power supply, namely an on/off switch, a 0.12uF/400V capacitor for phase shift, and a 220V ac 4 watt motor. I was wondering whether one of those uninterruptible power supplies that are used in computing and science labs would bring any benefits with regards to speed stability or motor noise, as our mains electricity supply can be prone to slight fluctuations due to our location out in the countryside? Please forgive me if it is a dumb question but I am not very clued up on electronics to know if it is a silly idea.
