Little Fwend P8/P10 Mount - Make Your LOW Little Fwend - Rega P8/P10 Compatible

The Mount That Makes a Little Fwend LOW Fit a Rega Skeletal Plinth — Lifter Included

This kit is sold as a pair of parts: the Little Fwend LOW automatic tonearm lifter, and the mounting platform that makes it fit a Rega. Both are in the box, so there is nothing else to buy. The platform is machined for the skeletal plinth of the Rega P8, P10 and Naia.

A manual turntable will happily play the run-out groove until somebody comes back. A stylus has perhaps a thousand to two thousand hours in it, and every one spent tracing an empty groove is one you have paid for and not used.

Machined for a Skeletal Plinth

Fit and Materials

The problem the platform solves is specific. On a Rega P8, P10 or Naia the skeletal plinth has a circular opening in the arm brace exactly where a Little Fwend LOW needs to sit — so the lifter had nowhere to mount. Little Fwend machined a platform to bridge it.

It fits the P8, P10 and Naia, and also the other Rega models from the P3 up, because the 1.7-inch opening in the arm brace — 44 millimeters — is the same across all of them. The platform is friction-fit; align the recessed arc to the curvature of the platter and it is oriented correctly.

Little Fwend is clear that this is an unofficial product with no connection to Rega. The lifter itself is entirely mechanical and sits outside the signal path, so nothing about it touches the audio.

What Reviewers Are Saying

Art Dudley called the Little Fwend "one of the most well-conceived, well-packaged, well-made audio accessories" he had encountered, writing in Stereophile on 24 January 2017: "I recommend it without hesitation." Stereophile lists it in Recommended Components.

Who Is This Kit Best For?

• You own a Rega P8, P10 or Naia — the skeletal plinths this platform was machined for
• You own a Rega from the P3 up — the 44-millimeter arm brace opening is the same across the range
• You fall asleep to records — the honest use case, and the one that wears styli
• You want the lifter and the mount together — both are in this kit, so there is nothing else to order
• Your Rega already has somewhere flat to mount a LOW — then you need the lifter alone rather than this kit; see tonearm lifters

How Do You Fit It?

Set the mounting platform over the opening in the arm brace so the recessed arc follows the curvature of the platter — that alignment is what orients it correctly. It is friction-fit, so no adhesive is needed. Mount the Little Fwend LOW on the platform, then set the trigger height so the arm trips it in the lead-out and not before.

Pairs Well With

What most Little Fwend owners shop next.

• Stylus cleaning — the other thing that decides how long a stylus lasts
• Stylus force gauges — and the setting that wears it fastest when wrong
• Cartridge alignment tools — worth checking while you are working around the arm
• Replacement styli — for when the hours do eventually run out

Frequently Asked Questions

How many do I need?

One kit per turntable, and it contains both the mounting platform and the Little Fwend LOW lifter.

Which turntables does it fit?

The Rega P8, P10 and Naia, and other Rega models from the P3 up — the opening in the arm brace is 1.7 inches, or 44 millimeters, across the range.

Is this made by Rega?

Little Fwend states plainly that it is an unofficial product with no connection to Rega. It is friction-fit and entirely mechanical, so it neither modifies the turntable nor touches the signal path.
