Teenage Engineering's Tiny Record Player Also Makes Custom Vinyl Records - Gizmodo

The PO-80 includes both a tonearm that can play back five-inch or seven-inch (with an adapter) vinyl records as well as a cutting arm with a replaceable stylus that can engrave three minutes of glorious monophonic sound (at 45RPM) or four minutes of lower quality audio (at 33RPM) onto a five-inch vinyl disc.

For $149, the USB-powered PO-80 includes a built-in speaker, an extra cutting stylus, six blank five-inch vinyl records, and a 3.5-millimeter audio plug for connecting an audio source like a Pocket Operator synth.

For those hoping for “the optimum sound quality for your recordings,” Teenage Engineering has also created an online mastering tool that “applies the desired equalizer curve to your music and makes it easier to achieve good lo-fi sound quality on your custom 5" cuts.” Don’t expect miracles or a sound that compares to the pre-recorded vinyl records you can buy at a store, but when you’re dropping $2 on three-minutes of analog audio, you might as well do anything you can to make it shine
