my  good fathers good friend gave me the 
  
  fostex x fifteen                      
  
 and  its  a  two track   tape   recorder 
                                          
 i don't really get how it works. it  has 
 two x rca in, two  x rca out, and four x 
 rca "tape out" which i guess is all four 
 channels on  the  cassette - which means 
 the b side  is  played backwards if it's 
                like that                 
                                          
 so now  i have to differentiate  between 
 four track cassettes and two x two track 
       ones... or not, just as well       
                                          
                                   
                                          
 it featyures  a low noise floor which is 
 great,  but  there  is   some  dithering 
 noise or  if  it  is  the motor, i  dont 
                  know,                   
 also there is a  really rad red cassette 
                slot cover                
                                          
                                    
                                          
 it  does  not  have  a speed hole  but 
 rather a much  neater actual speed  knob 
 i   dont   know    the   percentage   of 
 difference but  it applies  also to fast 
            forward and rewind            
                                          
  
  future refusals                       
  
                                          
 update:  this  fuckers gone  whacko  and 
 you  need to flip it over constantly and 
 get    in   there   with    your    hand
