There is TT out there: Raven Black Night

http://www.tw-acustic.de/engl/turntables/raven-black-night/index.html

that has:

“3 motors arranged in an arrow formation, pointing towards the platter. Drive belt is guided through the drive pulleys and around the circumference of the platter. Two built-in power supplies - one is exclusively used to charge the batteries. In normal operation the motors run from the battery supply alone, controlled by a microcontroller. Switching between battery and mains supplies occurs automatically without interrupting operation, as does battery charging. A remaining charge indicator is included on the front panel. Battery complement: 20 x rechargeable AA cells. Run time on battery operation only: Approx. 20 hours.”

Well, can somebody explain to me why one motor will not do the job properly?  Also: to run TT motors from DC? Come on! Give me a break! Sorry, but I do not believe in all of it.
