The most accurate drive belt Rega has ever made

Rega’s belt upgrade

The Reference EBLT is Rega’s top drive belt, fitted as standard to Planar 8 and Planar 10 since March 2021 and to the Planar 6. It is made to order in England and fits every Rega turntable.

Who it is for

Rega particularly recommends it for the Planar 6 and for a Planar 3 running on the external Neo PSU, where steadier motor drive brings out the belt’s accuracy. It is one of the most affordable upgrades with an immediately audible result on a Rega.

Rega’s most accurate belt

The Reference EBLT is the result of years of Rega research into materials and production tooling. Rega calls it the most accurate belt it has ever produced.

Uncompromising figures

On the same Planar 1, changing only the belt, weighted peak wow/flutter fell from 0.253% with a standard belt to 0.075% with the Reference EBLT — under a third, and half the figure of the Advanced EBLT.

An audible result

Steadier speed brings surer pitch, cleaner harmonics and a more stable stereo image. The difference shows on piano, strings and long sustained notes.

Made in England

Every Reference EBLT is made to order in England, with the same quality control Rega applies to its flagship Planar 8 and Planar 10 turntables.

A three-stage process

The accuracy of the Reference EBLT comes not from one step but from a chain of processes controlling every parameter of the belt.

Moulding and cryogenics

The belt is moulded in precision tooling from a special compound, cryogenically frozen and barrelled to give a perfectly round section with no residual flash.

Special curing

In the final stage each belt goes through an advanced curing process that stabilises the material modulus. The belt therefore stretches evenly around its whole circumference, which is critical for smooth drive.

Consistency in every belt

Thanks to the stabilised material, two Reference EBLT belts behave almost identically. That repeatability is what allows Rega to fit it to its top models.

The right upgrade

The Reference EBLT fits any Rega, but in some systems the improvement is especially clear.

Planar 6 and Planar 3 with Neo

Rega specifically recommends it for the Planar 6 and for a Planar 3 with the external Neo PSU. The supply’s stable drive and the precise belt work together for better speed stability.

Longer life

Under normal use it lasts up to 50% longer than a polychloroprene belt, so the upgrade keeps paying off for years before another change is needed.

Easy fitting

Changing the belt on a Rega takes a few minutes and no tools: lift off the platter, loop the new belt around the sub-platter and pulley, and refit the platter.
