Rega Advanced EBLT Belt - Fits All Rega Turntables

Rega's Upgraded Drive Belt, for Any Rega Turntable

The Rega Advanced EBLT is sold each, one belt per turntable. Rega makes it, and it fits every Rega belt-driven turntable — so it serves both as the replacement for a tired belt and as an upgrade over the standard one.

The belt is the only connection between motor and platter. Any variation in its thickness turns into a variation in platter speed, which is why belt accuracy is measurable rather than a matter of opinion.

An EBLT Belt, and the Measurement Behind It

Fit and Materials

The Advanced EBLT is part of Rega's EBLT family, molded on Rega's own tooling to hold a consistent cross-section around its whole circumference. That consistency is what a drive belt is judged on, and it is where the speed stability comes from.

Rega publishes the comparison. On the same Planar 1, weighted peak wow and flutter measures 0.253% with the standard belt and 0.162% with the Advanced EBLT. The Reference EBLT takes it further again, to 0.075%.

It fits all Rega belt-driven turntables, which makes it the straightforward choice whichever Planar you own. Keeping a spare in the drawer is cheap insurance against a Sunday afternoon with nothing turning.

Who Is the Advanced EBLT Best For?

• You own any belt-driven Rega — Rega makes this belt to fit the whole range
• Your belt has gone slack or shiny — belts stretch and harden slowly, and speed drifts with them
• You want a measured improvement over standard — 0.162% weighted peak wow and flutter against 0.253%
• You like having a spare — a belt is the one part that will eventually stop the deck outright
• Your turntable is not a Rega — this belt is cut to Rega's dimensions, so find your maker's part in turntable belts

How Do You Fit It?

Lift the platter off — on most decks it lifts straight up, sometimes with a sub-platter under it. Slip the old belt off the motor pulley and the sub-platter, and wipe both with a clean, dry cloth. Loop the new belt around the sub-platter, then over the pulley, keeping it flat and untwisted. Refit the platter and spin it by hand before switching on.

Pairs Well With

What most owners replacing a belt shop next.

• Stylus force gauges — the other setting that drifts quietly over the years
• Record cleaning solutions — a new belt deserves clean records under the stylus
• Record brushes — a dry sweep before every side
• Cartridge alignment tools — worth re-checking whenever the platter comes off

Frequently Asked Questions

How many do I need?

One. The belt is sold each, and Rega turntables are single-belt designs.

Which Rega turntables does it fit?

All Rega belt-driven turntables. Rega makes the belt itself, so it is the original part rather than an aftermarket equivalent.

When should I replace a belt?

When it looks glazed, feels slack, or the deck takes longer than it used to to reach speed. A belt degrades gradually, so the change is easy to miss until a new one goes on.
