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
