HiFi Choice

By the numbers

Here you can see a direct comparison taken from Rega's custom test software. Compare the old belt (top) versus the latest EBLT reference belt (bottom). Rega have used the same Planar 1 turntable and the only part that has changed is the drive belt. You can clearly see a notable reduction in weighted peak Wow / Flutter measurements produced by the increased accuracy and cross-sectional roundness of the EBLT belt. The standard belt measures 0.253% / the Advanced EBLT measures 0.162% and the Reference EBLT measures 0.075%

Each belt is moulded on our 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. All Reference belts go through a unique curing process which guarantees the highest achievable level of accuracy.

Who is this for?

The EBLT belt makes a subtle but positive difference to sound. Given that it’s good practice to renew turntable drive belts regularly, it’s a great value-for-money upgrade for any Rega record player owner. And this is even more the case if, as the company claims, the belt now lasts twice as long. Highly recommended then, and yet another nice thing that adds to the pleasurable user experience of having a Rega
