Rega reference belt disappointment
Rega and speed stability should not be used in the same sentence.  They have never been able to get it right.   If the old belt still is in one piece just clean it and continue to use as a new product from Rega will be a waste of resources.   If...

Movie/film suggestions.

Best Match
If it is a step from Bluetooth then he should note an improvement.  Whether he cares may be an issue to resolve before your well intended gift is purchased   
Then I Got a Pulse, Now I'm a Believer
Neal Diamond of course was the author of the song  
Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 2 Resurrection
The clips that I have heard of the Karajan Mahler 6 from the source that @hifiguy42  recommends are very impressive. I am never going to shell out that kind of dosh for a recording that has been so well transferred digitally, but if vinyl is your ...
