Product details
The SERENE Record Stabiliser fits over the turntable spindle and rests on the label, designed to absorb micro-vibrations from multiple sources, including the stylus, acoustic feedback, and other ambient noise. Its dual-mechanism design helps intercept these micro-vibrations before they reach the cartridge, allowing the stylus to track the groove with greater clarity. By lowering noise at this sensitive point, the SERENE Stabiliser enhances subtle details and spatial depth, creating a more natural and immersive sound experience.
The SERENE Stabiliser is designed specifically to absorb micro-vibrations through its Tension-Activated Particle Absorption (TAPA) system rather than simply flattening the record. By dynamically managing vibrations with a flexible, lightweight approach, it preserves the music’s natural dynamics, delivering clear, balanced sound without the tonal shifts that can occur with heavier clamps or weights.
Key features
- Dual-mechanism design: combines particle impact damping with a tensioned silicone membrane (the TAPA system).
- Works with rigid and suspended turntables: compatible with turntables like the LP12.
- Lightweight build: approximately 85g (Standard) / 95g (Long) to reduce stress on the motor and bearings.
- Compact size: 77mm in diameter and 25mm in height.
- Spindle compatibility: fits spindle heights up to 23mm from the top of the record — available in Standard (14mm) and Long (23mm) versions.
- Covered by the Stack Audio 60-day money back guarantee.

Press & critics
On the Rega Planar 10: “The Stack Audio Serene enhanced the ability to refine fine detail. From the midrange upwards, there is more information to discern.” Their final verdict? The Serene “greatly expands the range of situations where these devices can be effective and offers them at a very competitive price.”
Thank you to Hi-Fi+ for publishing their SERENE Stabiliser review!
They put the Serene through its paces on a range of turntables, from the AVID Ingenium Twin to the Rega Planar 10 and Vertere DG-X, and found it enhanced fine detail and openness across the board, even on decks that “have not traditionally responded positively to anything placed on the record.”
"I don’t know how the people at Stack Audio alighted upon the formula for what they have achieved, but if you can afford their products, you really should. I can see absolutely no reason not to invest in the SERENE Mat and Stabiliser – they will provide years of enhanced listening pleasure and enjoyment.”
"At the asking price, it's a no-brainer for me, and so this review ends like the first one about Stack Audio: These things are here to stay."

"The SERENE introduces a sense of calm and order over the chaos. With the SERENE in place, the vocals stretched further back into 3D space, the brass section was better focused and precise, drums and bass guitar were tighter, while the banjo no longer hid behind the piano on the right channel."
“The Stabiliser reveals levels of detail that may otherwise go unnoticed. The improvements in clarity, tonal accuracy & spatial depth are just undeniable.”
“The combination of the Stabiliser and Mat tidied the whole surface noise presentation up. I was enthralled and engaged in what I was listening to more than I have ever been in the past. The guys have created another product that seriously works.”
“Within five seconds, I could hear the difference. I experienced the type of improved clarity that I usually get when I upgrade a DAC to the next pricepoint. The vocals had an increased sharpness around the edges, the extra detail was crystal clear.”

"The Stabiliser lends a slightly more detailed and open presentation to the sound of vinyl, with a tight bass and more transparent midrange and treble apparent."
"Having auditioned and purchased Stack Audio Auva EQ footers (3 for under my turntable and a set of 4, to support my power amp) back in March, this year, I decided to take a punt on their latest stable additions of Serene Stabiliser (record puck) and Serene platter mat.
The Serene Stabiliser is quite lightweight, for a record puck, weighing in at less than 100g, and costs £195. The Serene Mat sells for £75 and both are available, together with a 60 day, money back guarantee, from The Stack Audio website.
Both items are exceptionally well made and presented in Stack Audio’s usual sturdy packaging and it is obvious that a lot of thought and innovation has gone into their design and manufacturing.
I began by replacing my usual record puck (the substantial Stillpoints LP1, weighing a “satanic” 666g on my TW Acoustics Raven One turntable (a non-suspended design, which I have owned since 2010). The heavy Stillpoints LP1 is not really suitable for a turntable with a sprung suspension, but I have used it in conjunction with my Raven One, without issue.
In comparison, the Stack Audio Serene Stabiliser lends a slightly more detailed and open presentation to the sound of vinyl, with a tight bass and more transparent midrange and treble apparent. I suspect that the weight of the Stillpoints LP1 enhances the bass at the expense of slightly suppressing the mids and highs.
There is no “leanness” to the bass when the Serene Stabiliser is used, but everything comes together, when the puck is deployed in partnership with the Serene Mat.
The combination of the two results in what I would describe as a reduction in “record roar” - the noise of the stylus tracing the record groove and resulting in a reduction in the system noise floor and overall background hash, usually associated with vinyl replay, when compared to digital.
The combination of puck and mat lends a some what euphonic presentation to the sound, by which I mean, that everything sounds very musical and wholesome.
For those interested in the technological background, I would refer you to Stack Audio’s website for a full explanation, but the bottom line is all about vibration control, the puck dealing with vibration from the turntable bearing and spindle and the mat, with it’s four dimple “suspensions” dissipating the vibration within the revolving vinyl record.
The Aussie Audiophile also has some interesting thoughts on his YouTube channel.
With the 60-day money back guarantee and generous forum discount code (maverick5), for an outlay of just over £260 for puck and mat, I would urge you to give it a try!"

"The SERENE blows my acoustic signature load S clamp away by a significant margin
I cannot explain it, the top image is my Acoustic Signature Tornado Turntable using the Serene Stabiliser and Serene Mat versus my Acoustic Signature Load S clamp. The Serene blows it away by a significant margin…. "
Used with: Acoustic Signature Tornado turntable
"I received the SERENE Stabiliser and have been using it with my Thorens TD-125 for several days. My turntable is belt-driven and has a suspended platter. I never like using heavy record weights, as I don't want to add additional mass to the platter. The SERENE Stabiliser is very light weight and perfect for my needs. It's not adding mass, but using different technology to stabilize the the record. I did A/B test the SERENE Stabiliser and it definitely removed slight distortion that I never noticed before. It appears to have stabilized the playback speed a bit as well. I've gone through several record clamps and never been that happy. The SERENE Stabiliser is a nice addition and I will be using it moving forward. "
Used with: Thorens TD-125 turntable
"So it's taken me a little while to get to grips with the sound of the Serene Stabiliser against the Stillpoints V2 Record weight, partly because the difference is so fundamental. The first thing I noticed was, as its name suggests, the new 'serenity' of the music. By that I mean the overall sound is now much quieter and more relaxed as if a whole level of bass boom or distortion has been stripped away. The bass is still impressive and underpins the music but now there is much more space and air for the mid and treble ranges to shine. Instruments are now easier to follow as the soundstage is much deeper and wider.
All this from a very light record 'puck', it is truly amazing! I was very happy with my system prior to this but the Serene Stabiliser has elevated the sound and enjoyment of my records by a very considerable margin. More relaxing, more life like and just a whole lot more enjoyable. I could quite easily envisage a serious cartridge or amplifier upgrade not achieving this uplift in performance, thank you Stack for a fabulous product."

"You guys are some of the most creative thinkers in the industry. The Mat and the Serene make “small but meaningful improvements”. But that word “small” vs the word “meaningful”, lets cogitate in that a bit. It’s like a round house kick when you learn to properly turn your hip - that’s small, but results in being able to knock a sucker out or pulverize their leg and end the fight. Or that small paycheck bonus that sends you in a life -changing trip to Thailand, or the wife that finally gets a small job but now you can retire 5 years early. Or when you learn to properly use acid when you’re cooking and flavoring to taste- it’s just a squeeze of lemon or a cap full of vinegar, but it transforms the dish into something merely good into something completely phenomenal."

"The SERENE Record Stabiliser has dropped the noise level to basically inaudible! The Böhm Mozart sound amazing. Thank you."
I recently purchased your SERENE Record Stabiliser. Now listening to.....
Mozart* • Karl Böhm , Berliner Philharmoniker - Symphonien Nr. 39 Es-Dur • Nr. 36 »Linzer«
My Thorens TD125 was already equipped with:
Origin Live Cartridge Enabler, Funk Firm Achromat Turntable Platter mat and the IsoAcoustics zaZen II Isolation Platform
....so my noise floor was already low. The SERENE Record Stabiliser has dropped the noise level to basically inaudible!
The Böhm Mozart sound amazing. Thank you.”

"The Serene increased the focus of all instruments; the saxophone was more three-dimensional with significantly improved tonality, sounding more like a real instrument."
Yesterday, I did some critical listening with and without the Serene Stabilizer. The first album I used was Oliver Nelson's The Blues and the Abstract Truth (Stolen Moments) – Acoustic Sounds Series audiophile pressing. I focused on the sound of the saxophone and was amazed by the difference. The Serene increased the focus of all instruments; the saxophone was more three-dimensional with significantly improved tonality, sounding more like a real instrument. After playing the same track back and forth with and without the Serene, I realised I could clearly distinguish the difference every time. The next test was Paul Chambers's Bass on Top. His double bass dominates throughout the album, so it was a good test for the low end. I used the title track, Yesterdays. Again, the same thing happened with the bass: it became more prominent with the Serene, more three-dimensional, with cleaner and improved tonality. Therefore, I am very happy with the Serene."

"The improvement isn't exactly subtle and it's across the board from bass to treble. No idea how you do it but keep up the good work!"
Used with: Michell turntable
"I tested this for 2 hours today with music from several different artists. Very favourable results so far. Seems to be better separation of the instruments, percussion seems to start and stop in a more defined way, bass sounds tighter, vocals somewhat more prominent.
Overall a noticeable improvement to the musical soundstage, more engaging. Beautiful engineering of a great new concept."
Used with: Linn LP12 turntable
"I already own a popular record stabilizer that I use with my LP12, which has had a notable and positive effect, enhancing definition and retrieving detail. It provides a more fluid musical presentation with a richer, more vibrant tone.
Given this, I was surprised by the impact of the StackAudio ‘Serene Stabiliser.’ Despite being significantly lighter than my current stabilizer, the Serene Stabiliser delivered a profound improvement, building on the qualities of my existing setup. The musical landscape gained depth, with cymbals and snares achieving a strikingly realistic quality. The overall musical flow reached a new level. Even recordings I usually find challenging, like Genesis' *Duke*, became enjoyable, with a deeper, more coherent performance and precise control over high frequencies. I suspect this clarity comes from reducing vibrational smearing across the record surface.
In my setup—which includes the full StackAudio Serene Soprano body/subchassis, Karousel bearing, Lingo VI, and SUPATRAC Blackbird tonearm—the ‘Serene Stabiliser’ truly completes the experience. I can hardly imagine vinyl sounding better than this! A must-try product!"
