Rhett's Retro World


According to our good friend Rhett Piczon, Vinyl Records have better sound quality than a Compact Disc! Well, at this point, for people like us who were still young during the time that Vinyl Records were the thing back then, one would probably wonder why. But as he explained (click this one) there is sense on this because on how the sound was recorded.

Rhett made a demonstration as he played a song from his turntable and also played the same song from his high end CD Player. The difference was the song played on the turntable had better quality specially on the side of the instruments. The CD play was okay but the turntable was more defined.


Rhett is CEO and President of STI College Tacloban and has since ventured into many other businesses. He takes into heart the saying "I work Hard and I play Hard!" Rather than lose money in Casinos, Gambling dens or drugs and other vices, he would rather spend his money on things he enjoy seeing, listening and even riding.

Pictured here is one of his BMW big bikes. He mentioned that he goes to Tacloban with this motorbike and rides the ferry from Sorsogon. For me it was something quite different that only a man who has the passion to go on a trip like that would do. It's quite amazing.

Rhett introduced us to his Retro world and I was quite amazed because his music room contained almost top of the line items. He has two turntables, a high end cd player and a plasma television set. The room can sit six to ten people comfortably. Its like a mini theater. THe apple of his eye is his high end turntable and collection of vinyl records that are extinct nowadays. He even has the original HOtel California Record released in 1973.


Just enjoy the pictures in this site since the most important thing that night was that he proved that the quality of vinyl records is better than music recorded on a compact disc. THere are things that are really hard to comprehend!

Judging from the photos and this blog, you can say that I enjoyed my stay in Rhett's retro world and is hopeful that I can go back there again next year. I just hope I can find other vinyl records to play in his one of a kind music room.
