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
