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
