Sold:
Aloia 13.01i amp with separate (and heavy) inductive power supply. Beautiful Italian design.
List: Originally $4000, but was later sold for $3200
Sell: $799
the ST 13.01 is rated at 30Wpc minim, but has been measured producing a clean 75Wpc.
This amp was reviewed some years back by Lars Fredell, who compared it favorably to his Lamm amps.
The inductive power supply has a huge transformer with multiple windings (right and left channels, plus rectification for each channel).
I had no problem driving difficult loads with this amp (Piega C10, ltd or Platinum Solo).

Snook2:
"Check out Aloia's with inductive power supply. You can buy one new for less than 4k. They are relatively new on US market. In my system they have been the best I've heard compared to the Levinson334,Cary slm200's and the Wolcott Presence and these amps were 2 and 3 times the price. Lars fredell also had a review that they bested $30k in Lamm gear."
Calloway:
"I agree with snook2. the aloia amps are the best around.lars fredell is having a hard time deciding whether he likes his aloia system or his lamm system at almost 5x the cost."
I have the original boxes, but the PS is very heavy and will be expensive to ship (from NC) in two separate boxes.
