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
