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
