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
