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
