The Art of Turntable-Making, Taken Higher

The Unitra GSH-801 Edmund Turntable takes everything that makes the Fryderyk special and elevates it. It keeps the acclaimed Unitra NB1 direct-drive system and R10 tonearm, then steps up to a machined aluminium platter, an external power supply for lower noise, and the flagship Ortofon 2M Black cartridge. The result is a European-made deck that reveals more of every groove — quieter, more refined and more resolving.

A Quieter, More Refined Foundation

Where the Edmund pulls ahead is in its noise floor. The power supply moves outside the plinth to keep electrical hash away from the delicate cartridge signal, and a DIN output cable ensures a clean, noise-free path to your phono stage. Combined with an aluminium platter for greater mass and stability, wow and flutter drops to just 0.08%.

The Ortofon 2M Black — The Detail Retriever

The Edmund arrives with Ortofon's 2M Black, the top of the 2M line, whose nude Shibata stylus digs deep into the groove for exceptional detail, air and dynamic contrast. Riding on the aluminium Unitra R10 tonearm — here refined with a two-plane bearing system inspired by the legendary Unitra Adam tonearm — it's a genuinely high-end analogue front end ready to play from the moment you unbox it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Edmund differ from the Fryderyk?

The Edmund upgrades to an aluminium platter, an external (rather than internal) power supply, a DIN output for lower noise, a refined two-plane tonearm bearing, and the flagship Ortofon 2M Black cartridge — for a quieter, more resolving presentation.

Which cartridge is included?

The Ortofon 2M Black, the top model in Ortofon's 2M series, featuring a nude Shibata stylus for outstanding detail and dynamics.

Is the power supply internal or external?

External and included. Keeping the supply outside the plinth reduces electrical noise reaching the cartridge, lowering the noise floor.
