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
