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
