Great Upgrade for Rega P1 06 December 2023 | Mike
My P1 was running fast - very nearly 34rpm as measured by phone app. The existing belt was about 3 years old with about 1000 hours use.
Replacing with the Reference EBLT restored speed to bang on 33.33 with much reduced W&F.
I'm sure that the improvement would be less if comparing between new belts, but it's worth doing the upgrade if your belt is due for replacement.

Reference EBLT vs Edwards Blue 13 June 2023 | Geoff
On my Planar 3 with 24v motor, stock subplatter & TTPSU I get similar results to others here: the EBLT runs a little slower than the Edwards: 33.10 rpm vs 33.28 (PlatterSpeed app with a 3150 Hz signal from the Tacet test record), but speed stability is improved: +/-0.06% vs 0.14% (best trials). The Rega is a looser fit so squeaks a bit more on startup.

Difficult to get too excited about what is essentially a rubber band, but it has tightened up the sound quality and improved the timing on my old Rega Planar 2.
Usual flawless service from Analogue Seduction

On Rega P1 with a standard belt, the WOW was 0.20, with a Reference - 0.05
I am delighted!

Replaced slipping belt on Rega Planar 3. Speed is now stable. I'm hoping this belt lasts a few years.

Is there any sound improvement? 16 May 2021 | James
The latest spec drive belt from Rega is fitted to my RP6 /Exact (2013 model). It took quite a few listens to familiar records before I decided there was indeed an improvement. My ears seem to detect a very small difference in control and coherence. I used Music Matters 33s - Coltrane, Mobley and Burrell issues as test records. For the sake of completeness, the rest of my system is Linn from 1998 (almost 'vintage'?)
Worth getting this belt if all you end up with is a spare!

Well,I ordered this for my 1996 planar 3 by mistake (meant to get the advanced belt). - serendipidus result- was using the blue “little belter “ and running at 33.56, 0.26%w/f and 45.47, 0.11%w/f. Now 33.31, 0.14% and 45.16, 0.06%.
No squeal on startup (cleaned pulley and sub platter rim with isopropyl) and audible improvement in leading edge attack and sustain.
Now I need to think about another couple for the P8...!
