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
