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
