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
