"Little Fwend has provided turntable-owners with peace of mind since 2015. Some use rare or expensive cartridges they want to keep from unnecessary wear, others just think the sound of the run-out groove is annoying. We decided to engineer a model that is very intuitive and easy to mount as well as feeling like a natural companion to the Technics 1200 turntable. Most of these legendary machines are at home playing entire album sides - rather than single tracks at the disco. The shape is designed to be positioned by visually aligning the mounting base to the geometry of the armboard area. When mounted in the magic spot, the only set-up that needs to be done by you, is the adjustment of the height and rotation of the trigger antenna to the correct angle for release. " - Little Fwend
LAB REVIEW
The Little Fwend adds convenience to your manual turntable by automatically lifting the tonearm at the end of the record. This device ensures you will never experience the sound of your needle scraping at the end of a record... or worse, on the label! It is similar in function to the utilitarian Q Up, but constructed of premium materials for safe and smooth operation, with a sleek design that compliments high end audiophile turntables. This particular model is specifically tuned to work with Technics' SL-1200/1210 direct drive turntable, the classic DJ model. It has been engineered to sit directly between the 1200's onboard tonearm lift and the platter and once the tonearm hits the high carbon steel Roslau piano wire, the neoprene rubber beam lifts it up. Easy to fine-tune to however you have your tonearm height set in a matter of minutes using the supplied hex key and mounting tape.
