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.
