Description
Low + P8/P10 Mount Bundle
Little Fwend Automatic Tonearm Lifter
Limited edition mounting platform for the Low model. Custom machined to fit the skeletal plinth Rega P8/P10/Naia.
I got countless emails from customers asking how they can get our Low model to work when there is a circular hole just where it needs to be mounted.
The P8/P10-Mount is designed to be very intuitive and easy to install. The mounting platform is friction-fit and when the recessed arc is aligned along the curvature of the platter, the mount will be oriented correctly.
If you´re a new customer, you need the Low P8/P10-bundle. If you already have a Low model, you can just get the P8/P10Mount and you´re back in business in no time.
The P8/P10Mount will also fit the other Rega models from the P3 and up as the 44mm diameter opening in the arm brace is the same for all of them.
This is a highly unofficial product and has nothing to do with Rega.
The original model for Rega, Linn, Thorens, Pro-Ject, MoFi Electronics and many more brands. For turntables with 32-49mm from the mounting surface and up to the underside of the tonearm, measured while the stylus is in the groove.
Our original model has been sold to more than 2000 happy customers since 2016. The Low model fits most turntables with regular thickness platters (Linn, Rega etc.) or where the Low is mounted on the armpod instead of on the plinth (Brinkmann, Michell Gyrodec etc.)
For the Little Fwend to work you need a flat mounting surface between the edge of the platter and the base of the tonearm to adhere the magnetic mounting disc. Point the stylus towards the middle of the run-out groove of a 12” record and measure if you have at least 28mm diameter free space straight under the tonearm tube.
Lifting Mechanism: Safe. Smooth. Silent. Those were the most important aspects of the design. We experimented a lot finding the right relationship between spring compression force, travel, dampening and friction. Little Fwend lifts the tonearm smoothly and controlled with minimum use of force (and a little help from Newtons fwends). Little Fwend can lift tonearms with cartridges set up to 5 grams VTF.
Release Antenna: High carbon steel Roslau piano wire. Very low lateral force is required to release the mechanism.
Rubber Beam. Neoprene rubber padding lets the tonearm rest safely and stable even with the level a few degrees off both horizontally and vertically.
Height Ranges. Little Fwend comes in two different sizes, Low and High. The Low model can be used under tonearms with clearance between the underside of the arm wand and the mounting surface as low as 32mm, up to 49mm. the High model from 49mm, up to 82mm. Height is adjusted by a set screw in the base. The appropriate hex key is enclosed. Please measure the distance from mounting/plinth surface up to the underside of tonearm wand. Take the measurement when the tonearm has correct VTA and the needle is in the groove. Subtract approx. 1mm from this distance, to make sure there will be safe clearance between the rubber beam and the moving tonearm.
New to the range is the DISCO version which has been designed to suit the Technics SL-1210/1200 Mk2/3/4/5/6/7/LTD/G/GR/GAE with the standard tonearm.
Mounting Platform. 0.3mm steel disc with a Scotch 3M restickable dot as a mounting base (so no adhesive residue is left on your plinth). Little Fwend is fastened to the platform through magnetic force. The axially magnetised N52-magnet in the base is strong enough to keep Little Fwend in place, but weak enough to easily reorient the trigger antenna for the various run-out groove areas. Little Fwend is readjusted in seconds. The diametrical magnetic field is very low and will not affect magnetic metals in the radius of the base.
