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
