Rega Reference EBLT Upgrade Drive Belt

Custom made premium Reference EBLT drive belt — the most accurate drive belt Rega has ever produced, fitted as standard to all Planar 8 and Planar 10 turntables.

The Rega Reference EBLT drive belt is the culmination of many years of R&D and advanced tooling trials. The Reference belt is suitable for all Rega turntables but highly recommended for the Planar 6 and any Planar 3 using the Rega Neo TT PSU.

Each belt is moulded on highly accurate custom tooling using a unique secret blend. Once moulded, the belts are cryogenically frozen and barrelled to remove any excess flash in order to create perfect cross sectional roundness, which is critical for accurate speed and stability. In normal use and conditions, the lifespan of the EBLT drive belt is 50% longer than the previous model, and all Reference belts go through a unique curing process which guarantees the highest achievable level of accuracy.

In Rega's own testing on the same Planar 1 turntable, changing only the drive belt produced a notable reduction in weighted peak Wow / Flutter measurements: the standard belt measures 0.253%, the Advanced EBLT measures 0.162% and the Reference EBLT measures 0.075%.
