Rega has always championed the use of a circular drive belt and a ‘V’ shaped pulley as the optimum method of delivering energy from the turntable motor. However, achieving the accuracy required to transform this motor energy into accurate and stable rotational speed is not as straightforward as one might think. 

Each belt is moulded on a highly accurate custom tooling machine 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.
