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
