The April 24th Ottawa meet didn't have as much turn out as expected but I think a good time was still had by all. No listening impressions from me as of yet but here are some photos.

doodz and AndyRX7 listening to HD650s w/ zu mobius and silver dragon respectively

Great pics!

(My girlfriend says we look like DJs, haha.)

Thanks again everyone, I had an awesome time! We should do it again sometime.

Good luck with your all-nighter study session Ken!

Andy.

It looks like there was a lot of good gear there. I wish I could have made it, but I had to cram for my last final tomorrow.

I'll definitely be there next time!

Good luck on your finals Ken.

I'm sorry that I could not make it. My weekend ended up basically ruined, I was not able to attend the record/CD convention nor this meet. Hope you guys had a great time.

yeah, me too. I've never seen one that changes diameters before.

 

[ken_loo]

not sure which is which but the power cables Brandon brought were:

-Elco POWER HPC-10SP 5.5 ft & 8 ft PCs
-Two PS Audio XStream Statements 1.5M PC

 

[PsychoZX]

A quick google search turns out that the cable people asking about is the Elco POWER HPC-10SP.

I thought you swore off cable making

 

[Brandon_Ottawa]

Thanks for hosting the meet, Ken. It was great to meet some more local Ottawa head-fiers. I had a great time and enjoyed listening to a variety of Grados. I still love my Senns.

Yeah, the scary looking cable is an Elco HPC-10SP. I bought the cables off audigon when Elco had no reserve price.

A great deal of the cable diameter is due to the shielding material. You can see it in more detail here...
