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
