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
