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
