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
