Yes indeed, Plan A didn't go very far...
Oh well... Perhaps 4 times is a charm then? Maybe we should just set a date and place and work out the rest after. A bit of pressure will work out just fine. Having CanJam London in July how about we settle for the middle between now and then in April? Then, knowing Easter is at March 31st with some of us perhaps having an extra day off before or after make it either March 30, March 31, or April 1? And London being disqualified because of said CanJam where we will have a second chance opt for either Berlin, Amsterdam, or Paris? Anything goes for me really so if anything else works for you guys all the better.

There's something going around, I took the day off because congestion is murdering me and I can barely talk without coughing my lungs out.

Apparently half my team either is going through the dregs of being sick or just started.
Oh the joy of having colleagues. 😶 Another devastating benefit of our great little online community.

Now I am wondering if Perpetua has similar signature to Trifecta. I heard Trifecta last NY Canjam but, unfortunately, with the bad source.

So far I'm choosing more relaxed genres - certainly reminds me of what I once used Isa for... modern classical, vocals, acoustic, ambient etc. I must dig into some of the faster genres but my sense is they will not be ideal, as such likely more of a specialist.
I disliked Perpetua immensely. Will never revisit.

Edit: If anyone wants me to qualify why, I can, but I don't want to derail others when I am clearly an outlier.

Yes early April is a good shout, and I'm easy on location - I'd probably lean towards Amsterdam having spent a lot of time there with work over the years and it seems a good central location for most of Europe to reach. So we have to figure out who would like to join next... and once we've a handle on numbers, decide on a venue! I'm pretty sure from Ireland we would have @armstrj2 and @northsider at least anyway...

I was exactly in the middle. Love-hate. Yes, I absolutely hear what it can do in a collection of IEMs with an excellent source. No, it won't be mine as the one-and-only with a random but very good and reputable source. I do think it's a must hear for anyone being into DD IEMs though, because if it works it's probably magic.

🤣 Blot walks in…”I hate you and I will always hate you! Goodbye!” 🎤 drop!

Edit: Perpetua is my favorite single DD followed closely by Eden!

I don’t consider any IEM to be a success unless at least one of the regulars here hates it.

@Rockwell75
What's your take on Perpetua vs Turii Ti?

lol, I am trying to balance what is and isn't important for folks to know as the train leaves the station and why I continue to be such a foreign entity preference wise. (shrug)

Yes, very source dependable.

I’ve heard it on the SR35, RS8 and WM1Z and it’s been nothing but wonderful. Best single DD I’ve ever heard by a country mile and one of the truly great IEMs to have been released in recent memory…IMHO.

i'd love to hear your opinion!
I don't see the point of not expressing your thoughts just because they differ from the majority!

please share!

I'm taking notes on who might be interested and we'll go from there. So anyone posting here or sending me a message will appear on the list of victims. With that list I'll check on dates, where your house lives, and whether you'd want to travel for The Right Cause.

If anyone has a list of European members, lurkers, et cetera, please forward it to me and I'll drum up a list. @Rockwell75 Any location info you can share from the polls? If you consider it not done I'd understand though.
