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
