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
