President Noy's an Audiophile!

Postby esi » Sat Jul 03, 2010 2:44 am

Dear WS,

I am not a newbie but the topic said all the things you want to know about audio that you were afraid to ask / post. Here goes...
Last March 2010, a very rainy and traffic ridden wednesday I was killing time at MUSIC ONE QC AVE around 8:30pm. While flicking on their vinyl stock pile and their Used CD's i chanced upon avery popular figure whom at that time I KNEW that he would be our next president. The supporter that I was didn't hesitate to approach him, us being the only 2 customers interested with the same type of genre. He was very modest, should I say shy and a very private mild mannered fellow. He even obliged a photo op for me and my wife. Then it dawned on me to research if he was whom i think he was. Viola...HE IS ONE OF US! I keep on seeing giant towers during brief video segments in news bits but never got to scrutinize as to what his speakers are and the rest of his gears. One article said that he had quite a collection of music...(what format? CDs and Vinyl?)...with laser light effects. ? Is there any member who can shed light as to what our newly elected president has and collects? If ever that chance encounter should happen, that would be the first agenda! And I believe he would not hesitate to answer. :)

P-Noy has a rega cd player (Jupiter or planet yata) top loading silver finish. Saw it when he was interviewed (GMA7) at his Times Street residence.

i think his 1st song choice for his inaugural 'concert'-- watch what happens, a largely unpopular song outside of ws :lol: , affirms his finer taste in music.

Hmmmm.... so that answers the question why he knows that song, and why a few present at the QC memorial circle can relate (well.... except his own kind :) )

Initially I thought that the speakers were Wilson Audio but yes von schweikert is also a consideration. I hope his rig would be featured in a news piece but not to raise some eyebrows as to how much they cost. He's a bachelor senator and an Aquino - Cojuangco to boot! Listening to music at the end of a hectic day is truly a breather! Mabuhay ka P.NOY! :D

Jack I think already mentioned P-Noy as a Bozanian in an old post, thus he may be actually using the Von Schweikerts

I must be from another planet but where is bozania in manila? Where can i audition these babies? It really piqued my curiosity since i was told by one of his security men he really takes time out to get new CDs and locks himself to listen and appreciate different types of music. He's my kind of audiophile! Yeah! :clap:

Noy is a long time audiophile. He has VSA VR-3.5s in Tarlac and VSA VR-4 Gen IIIs formerly owned by myself and Attorney Chris at times street. He uses Krell amplification and a Rega Saturn CDP. He also uses Shunyata Hydra power conditioning. In the 9 years we've been friends, Noy is really a simple and down to earth guy. He almost never buys new. He's got a very eclectic CD collection but seems not to be interested in going Vinyl. I've been trying to get him to resurrect Ninoy's R2R machine but I guess he's now definitely too busy.

I may help him relocate his Times St. system to Malacanan Palace in the near future.

Noy's brother in law is vintage master Dodo, a good friend of VD.

Bozania is in Wack Wack Twin Towers. Currently on display are the latest VR-4 SR Mk3 and the mighty VR-9 SEs. The Unifield 1 monitor should be coming shortly.
