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
