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
