The Best Drive Belt Rega Has Ever Made, the Reference EBLT Allows Planar Turntables To Deliver the Ultimate in Accurate Speed, Reliable Stability, and Overall Performance Replacing the belt on your Rega Planar turntable can make a huge difference in terms of accurate speed, as well as reliable stability and overall sonic performance. The premium, custom-made Rega Reference EBLT drive belt now is fitted as standard on all Planar 8 and Planar 10 turntable models. (This change was made on March 8, 2021.) The most accurate drive belt Rega has ever produced, the Reference EBLT is suitable for all Rega turntables, but it is particularly highly recommended for the Planar 6 and any Planar 3 using the Rega Neo PSU turntable power supply unit. The Reference EBLT drive belt, just like the Advanced EBLT drive belt (also available from Music Direct), works on all Rega turntablesexcept the original Rega Planet turntable. Each belt is molded on Regas ultra-accurate custom tooling equipment, using a unique secret blend. Once molded, the belts are cryogenically frozen and barreled to remove any excess flash in order to create perfect cross-sectional roundness, which is critical for accurate speed and stability. Under normal use and conditions, the lifespan of an EBLT drive belt is 50% longer than that of the previous model. The Reference EBLT drive belt is the culmination of many years of R&D and advanced tooling trials. All Reference belts go through a proprietary curing process that guarantees the highest achievable level of accuracy. Like all Music Direct products, the Rega belts come with the 100% Music Direct Satisfaction Guarantee. Scientific performance measurements reveal a significant reduction in weighted peak wow and flutter, thanks to the increased accuracy of the design and cross-sectional roundness of the EBLT belt: The standard belt measures 0.253%
