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
