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
