Belt Up! Why Rega's Reference EBLT is a Great Upgrade For Its Turntables – Plus Top Tuning Tips

Mike and David indulge themselves more than just a little bit with this unashamedly tweaky look at Rega's 'Reference' EBLT upgrade drive belt, which is designed for all of its turntables with the exception of the original Planet. The guys reckon it works a treat. True, most Hi-Fi Riff viewers won't own old Rega record players, but it's an interesting look at the issues that belt drive turntables face, all the same! The guys also share their top tips on getting the best out of Rega decks, many of which apply to other belt drive decks too. Handy info if you're an analogue addict who wants to get into the (micro)groove! Every episode of Hi-Fi Riff features Mike Evans' and David Price's thoughts on all manner of weird and wonderful hi-fi designs. Business executive Mike has a wealth of knowledge from previous hi-fi retail experience, and David has written about hi-fi for over thirty years. Now Global Editor-in-Chief of StereoNET, he's picked up a few things along the way... So put the kettle on, relax and enjoy the unscripted, unedited, one-take hi-fi riffing – and leave your comments below, as we read every single one of them.
