AFAIK it's synchronous

The new Rega motor is a synchronous motor, as far as I know it is internally identical to the old motor but uses different fixings (maybe someone who has used both can confirm or deny this). The new drive is "tuned" to the motor by altering the relative phase angle of the nominally quadrature pair, thus the motor and drive must be done together.

As I said, it is relatively simple and cheap to replicate do this yourself on any existing synchronous motor. All you need is an Ipod, a T amp and a couple of small transformers, all up it costs about $50 if you have the Ipod already.
