Rega reference belt disappointment
My RP3 is about 11 to 12 years old and has the original belt and I thought it might be time to replace it. I figured I would get the Reference EBLT belt, and why not? Rega’s site shows how much better it is with respect to wow and flutter, right?
The disappointment comes from testing both old and new with my phone RPM APP.
The old belt has a WOW of around plus or minus 0.08 %. The new “Reference” belt shoots up to plus or minus 0.27%
Ok the App may not be the most accurate with respect to the actual value displayed but the repeatability would suggest the new belt is worse than the old. So what the hell, Rega? I will give it a few more hours to see if it settles in but so far I’m disappointed.
I tried to post my pic’s of the app results but couldn’t figure out how.

Here's the contact info with phone I have spoken with them several times and alway patient and helpful. I am embarrassed that I cannot remember his name or home country but one of the main gentlemen there has an accent and is so knowledgeable. Even though you moved on, I encourage you to relay your experience to them for insight. Soundorg (North American distributor) |
