Upgrade Reference Drive Belt The increased drive delivered by this belt vastly improves speed stability and tonal accuracy. The benefits of the Reference Drive Belt are especially noticeable during long musical notes and complex passages. Read more about the Reference Belt here.

Bias 2 cartridge Housed in Rega’s unique lightweight high rigidity cartridge body the Bias 2 completely handmade at Rega's factory in England. This moving magnet cartridge uses a high quality elliptical stylus and parallel wound coils usually found in much more expensive cartridges. The Rega Bias 2 offers more detail and nuance that the stock Ortofon could not, with a livelier tonal balance and better dynamics, a detailed, balanced performance with tight bass and excellent stereo imaging.

Turntable Mat Taken directly from the P7, this high quality mat is manufactured from 100% natural wool. Wool has stiffer fibers than synthetic materials which improves coupling between the phenolic resin platter and the record. This mat also compensates for the difference in heights between the stock Ortofon and the Bias 2, meaning no adjustments to tonearm VTA are required.
