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
