Audes ST-1500DC

Compact High-Performance Power Conditioner for High-End Audio

The Audes ST-1500DC is a premium power conditioner from Audes, designed to deliver clean, stable, DC-free mains power to high-fidelity audio and AV equipment. In a compact but solid chassis, it combines a robust toroidal transformer, built-in DC-blocking, and careful filtration to reduce noise, hum and distortion — enhancing the clarity, dynamics, and overall musical realism of your system. cityaudiotrade.com+2audes.ee+2

Why the ST-1500DC Matters

🔹 Reliable Power, Even Under Load

• The ST-1500DC is rated at 1500 VA, making it suitable for integrated amplifiers, preamps, DACs, phono stages, digital front-ends, and other medium-demand audiophile gear. cityaudiotrade.com+1

• Thanks to its carefully designed transformer and low output DC resistance, the unit can supply high current surges without significant voltage drop — even during demanding musical peaks. audes.ee+1

🔹 DC-Blocking & Mains Isolation

The ST-1500DC incorporates DC blocking and filtration to remove unwanted DC offsets, noise, and distortions from your power supply. This helps eliminate transformer hum, reduce background noise, and provide a stable, symmetrical AC feed to downstream audio components. MCRU+2technologyfactory.eu+2

🔹 Improved Soundstage, Dynamics & Detail

Users and reviewers report that powering their system through the ST-1500DC reveals benefits such as deeper bass, cleaner highs, enhanced micro-detail, more natural soundstage, and smoother dynamics. Especially on systems where mains noise or DC offset was a problem. eringa.eu+2atube-highfidelity.nl+2

🔹 Versatile & Compatible

With 5–6 grounded 16 A outlets (CEE 7/3), the ST-1500DC can power a full system: preamps, streamers/DACs, amplifiers, and even digital sources or AV components. This makes it a convenient "all-in-one" solution for clean power distribution. Fidelity Components Shop+2shop.kingaudio.nl+2

Hand-Built European Craftsmanship

• Built by Audes in Europe — known for decades of transformer design and manufacturing heritage. 6moons.com+2audes.ee+2

• Toroidal transformer with a very large core, designed to minimize magnetic flux density and electromagnetic interference — helping ensure low noise and long-term stability. audes.ee+1

• Low no-load power draw (due to high-efficiency winding design), allowing it to be left plugged in permanently without undue power consumption. rikstoet.nl+1

For Which Systems Is ST-1500DC Ideal?

• High-end integrated amplifiers (tubes or class-A/B)

• Digital front-ends: DACs, streamers, network players with DACs

• Preamp + phono-stage setups (especially with external power supplies)

• Systems sharing mains with many other devices (in apartments or multi-unit buildings)

• Users who hear transformer hum, noise, or unstable dynamics, especially during power peaks
