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
