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.
