My little brother just got a new flat in town, and I figured id hook him up with some gear. Ive got an old nad 533(same as rega p2 I believe, rebadged) and an aranov integrated. only thing I dont have is the belt to play 45s on the NAD. any idea where to get one? I am also curious as to what phono stage can be had for great bang to buck ratio(and cartridge..it has a Grado Black MM currently). The table was given to me when I had a fleeting interest in Vinyl(I have none now), and I never touched it. my brother inherited my dads record collection, and I thought id give him a good gift with which to enjoy it.
That is a very nice gift. Any Rega dealer should be able to help him as could the on line source, www.neddledoctor.com .
I would only suggest a measurement when you call or email them with the length you will need, just to be safe.
I have had good success also with www.turntablebasics.com and

Good luck.
thank you Sir! very much appreciated.

I assume you caught the little typo in Jim's link, if not it is www.needledoctor.com/
I mention this only because they are local to me and a very good bunch.
I sure did, bud. Thanks much.

At the risk of revealing severe ignorance....
I have a P2 (about 5 years old).
I did not know that you had to install a different belt to play 45's. I thought you just moved the existing belt to a different sized pulley on the motor shaft?

Brian-
I'm not familiar with that particular 'table but most turntable do change speeds by using the SAME belt and a DIFFERENT pulley or a different section of the same pulley.
Lowery and the gentleman above, you were both right, I did not need a different belt...just had to move it.
