Any Rega experts out there ?
« on: 27 Mar 2021, 09:04 pm »
 :D hello,  on a P9 TT I have a double pulley or two same size belt grooves on the drive pulley.  So does this mean I need to run two belts ?  The white belts sell for 100.00 bucks here !!  They don't make the white belts any longer for some reason. So this fellow must have old stock @ 100 a pop.   :D

I don’t believe you have to run 2 belts but running 2 will spread the load over double the area hence less stress on the belts.
I don’t have a Rega but I do run 2 belts on my turntable, I could just as easily run 1.

 :D yes thanks. Rega belts are 85.00 now.  Holy smokes things are really going up these days.  190.00 for both belts plus tax.  Good lord. Just doesn't seem right.  :D

If your P9 have a double pulley, go with 2 belts.
You have a nice TT.  :thumb:

 :) it sure does. Thanks you guys. Those white belts are not worth 90 dollars a piece. They are no longer made so that tells you something too.   :D
