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. 
                                          
 IT    MADE   ME    BUY    A    VHS   CAM 
                                          
                                          
                                       
                                          
        REST IN PIECES, LITERALLY
