Introduced 2015$269 MSRP
The Little Fwend is a mechanical, magnet-triggered automatic tonearm lifter designed and assembled in Norway by one-man operation Lasse Gretland, with precision parts machined in Switzerland in collaboration with Micha Huber, the engineer behind Thales turntables — a genuinely small-batch product with an estimated 500-person waitlist at times, qualifying it as boutique despite its wide critical acclaim.
