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
