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
