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
