A   COOL  ENOUGH  SONY  WALKMAN   CALLED 
                                          
                                       
            TCM ONEFIFTY            
                                       
                                          
 IT'S BATTERY POWERED (TWO AA  BATTERIES) 
 AND HAS A MICROPHONE.  IT DOES FEATURE A 
 SPEED HOLE BUT  IT'S HIDDEN BENEATH  ITS 
                  SHELL.                  
                                          
 A  COOL  THING  IS  THE  SPEAKER  ON THE 
 FRONT. BUT ISN'T THAT A  MAGNET CLOSE TO 
               THE TAPE? YES              
                                          
              IS IT GOOD              
                                          
 WELL. IT HAS  SOME VERY REAL COMPRESSION 
 GOING  ON  SO  CLOSE VOX  AND OTHER HIGH 
 VOLUME THINGS ARE  VERY  CRISP AND  WITH 
 KIND  OF  LOW  NOISE.  BUT  WHEN THERE'S 
 MORE  OF AN AMBIENCE,  ALL YOU  HEAR  IS 
          HISS AND MOTOR NOISE.           
                                          
 DENOISING TECHNIQUES ARE SIMPLE. ACTUAL  
 DENOISING  FOR  THE NOISE,  AND MAYBE AN 
            EQ FOR THE MOTOR.             
                                          
      WHAT     IS     IT     FOR      
                                          
 I USE  IT FOR TALKING TO WHEN I'M DRUNK. 
 IT  DOES  THIS   VERY  GOOD.  THE  PAUSE 
 BUTTON  IS A SMALL STOP, THE STOP BUTTON 
             IS A MAJOR STOP.             
                                          
              SOME QUIRKS             
                                          
  WHEN UNPAUSING, RECORDING BEGINS BEFORE 
 THE ENGINE  IS FULLY SPUN  UP, RESULTING 
 IN   A   NICE   SWOOP   BEING  RECORDED. 
                                          
 IT   MADE    ME   BUY    A    VHS    CAM 
                                          
                                          
                                       
                                          
        REST IN PIECES, LITERALLY
