New EBLT's from Rega

[dave charlton]

Advanced EBLT to be fitted to the Planar 1, 1+, 2, 3 & 6 and Reference EBLT's to be fitted to the 8 & 10. All using Rega's unique secret blend.

I like Rega. Most of their decisions seem grounded in engineering. Anybody who disagrees should watch the analogue planet factory tour video.

...and who doesn’t like a secret blend?

 

[Robert M]

Want one to replace my white now brown belt.

It's hard not to be impressed. Of course there are lots of manufacturers investing in qualitative improvements but the addition of deep commitment to doing so at the best value possible is unusual. Or unusual at least in that Rega are unusually good at it?

Unless the belt cost £300? ;0)

 

[dave charlton]

I'm due a belt change soon so it would be nice to see them available separately with some prices.

 

[paul darwin]

They will be available as follows, EBLT early March then Reference Upgrade Belt shortly afterwards, for £15 (inc vat) and £25 (inc vat) respectively.

Seems pretty decent. Although some deck's need two so there is that ;0)

That's where the next £50 will be going on my RP8 I guess!

Which belt would match a P7 ?

 

[paul darwin]

Both, but the reference belt is better and perhaps more appropriate for a P7.

Where did you see the Reference Upgrade Belt info?
Apologies but couldn't see anything on the Rega link posted. I got a new Planar 10 in very late Jan so I assume that it won't have any belt 'upgrade'.
@paul darwin ?

 

[paul darwin]

The new belts will be factory fitted on all new products manufactured March 1st onwards.

 

[Chris Tarling]

Thanks @paul darwin
I will hassle my dealer to get some for Planar 10.

 

[terrycym]

I want two reference belts too

 

[Mr Pig]

I want to know what happens if you run one EBLT and one Reference belt at the same time?

I remember when I tried a black and a white belt at the same time... sounded rather grey.

 

[MartinC]

Wish they would make them for LP12's!

A weighted peak Wow / Flutter measurement of 0.119% and a cost saving of a tenner

 

[Fudgemaster]

Wonder how many Reference belts will be bought, just to see......?
Me too.

Yep, at £25 I’ll chance it!
