thanks.. my only concern is about a lack of juice using the A15-Momentum combo due to its EU volume cap... and I just sold my graham slee voyager 

Hi... any issue using the A16-Momentum(over the ear) combo without a portable amp? I'm really curious as this is the way I'd go... 

Bummer... I can't really figure out why in Sony planned this kind of maddening distribution.   16GB+128GB is nice but 64GB+128GB would be much better... so easy.   Many thanks for the above link, but unfortunately, ordering the A17 from outside EU just means to fork out something like 100...

Any fresh and reliable news about the A17 availability in Europe? it seems we're all stuck to the 16GB model...

Well.. even if I'm not a true connoisseur of classical music - preferring alt rock, noise, electronic, free jazz.. - I attended chamber music concerts several times and I enjoyed them. Loving a specific genre doesn't bar the chance to appreciate new sonic experiences...

Yep... funny and sharp sunday brunch reading... many thanks.. I guess we'd read something similar about portable amps...
