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
