I have the Little Fwend. I like it! I got it as a gift from my awesome GF who really knows how to pick a gift. Well, actually, ken at Needle Doctor helped, but a great choice nonetheless!
Anyway I would not call it a good value but it’s well made. I think I’ve had it about two years, since before there were so many options as there are now. Not a bit of trouble with it. Before this, I had the QUp. It worked, but was very fiddly. The plastic would slip and I’d have to adjust after a few hours of play, even when I taped it in place.
The LF has a stick-on metal disc and a very strong magnet. I may adjust once a month or two. It is way smoother than the QUp, which was kind of abrupt, and you can hear it in the tone arm when it clicks. The LF is smooth and dead quiet.
Also, I really like the look. It matches my tone arm and looks like it was there from the factory. As a gift it was perfect, and I think it looks cool. Not sure I’d have bought it myself... but now that I have it I would buy again. Pics posted in my system page. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/7144
Is it worth the price? Probably not, but considering the price of some tweaks, it’s not that big of a deal for a nice system.
