UK-based Stack Audio has introduced two innovative products aimed at enhancing vinyl playback. The Serene Record Stabiliser is designed to be placed over the turntable spindle on the record, while the Serene Mat features an advanced rubber composition with integrated spring pads intended to mitigate vibrations.
The Serene Record Stabilizer is positioned over the central axis of the turntable, resting on the record label. This device functions as a record puck, engineered to absorb micro-vibrations originating from various sources, such as the stylus, acoustic feedback, and surrounding noise. Its dual-mechanism design effectively captures these micro-vibrations before they can affect the cartridge, enabling the stylus to navigate the groove with improved precision. By minimizing noise at this critical juncture, the Serene Stabilizer enhances the reproduction of subtle details and spatial depth, resulting in a more authentic and immersive listening experience.
The Serene Stabiliser is engineered to effectively absorb micro-vibrations through its innovative Tension-Activated Particle Absorption (TAPA) system, rather than compressing the record. This flexible and lightweight design allows for dynamic vibration management, maintaining the music’s inherent dynamics and providing a clear, balanced sound without the tonal distortions often associated with heavier clamps or weights.
The suggested retail price for the Serene Record Stabiliser is around $235.
Stack Audio Serene Mat
The Serene Mat showcases an innovative, flexible design equipped with precision-engineered spring pads that effectively absorb micro-vibrations before they impact the record. Serving as a stable base for vinyl, Serene’s turntable mat significantly enriches the listening experience by uncovering intricate musical elements that might otherwise remain hidden. Supported by comprehensive measurements, this mat substantially improves clarity and depth, allowing listeners to appreciate subtle nuances in the vinyl for a more engaging auditory experience.
Constructed with meticulously calibrated spring pads, each featuring a raised tip to evenly distribute the record’s weight, the mat ensures optimal performance. This targeted weight engagement activates the springs, enabling them to mitigate micro-vibrations that standard mats fail to manage. Crafted from a specially designed silicone material, the Serene Mat effectively isolates the record from distortion, enhancing clarity and revealing intricate details within the music.
