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
