Automatic Lifter

About the Automatic Lifter

The Little Fwend is a precision-engineered automatic tonearm lifter handmade in Scandinavia that mounts between your turntable's platter and tonearm. When the stylus reaches the record's run-out groove, it triggers a delicate carbon-steel piano-wire antenna that activates a fluid-damped lifting mechanism, smoothly raising the tonearm without stress on the cantilever or stylus. The device is 100% mechanical with no electronic components, ensuring it does not affect the audio signal. It features a neodymium magnetic base for easy repositioning and adjustment, allowing you to fine-tune the trigger point to match different records' run-out grooves. The lifter comes with both magnetic and adhesive mounting options, excellent setup instructions, and an included toolkit. Available in multiple versions designed for different tonearm heights and turntable types, the Little Fwend has been sold to over 2,000 customers since 2016 and has received widespread critical acclaim from publications including Stereophile, Analog Planet, and Hi-Fi Choice.
