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
