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
