Best, or ideal record clamp

I third the TT Weights clamp on NON-threaded spindles. The best clamp that I have tried on a 1/4 x 20 threaded spindle is the Teres Audio. I have (2) of the TT's on other tables and they really are NICE. Larry is wonderful to work with. You should also try his new Carbon Fiber CD mat. I've had mine about a month and WOW, does it really work!!!

Count me in with TT Weights ... I'm a believer. I owned the Brass heavyweight clamp, liked it, but upgraded to Larry's top of the line record weight and noticed an immediate improvement in transparency. Also own his heavy weight outer ring clamp and power cord. The power cord is a bargain when compared to more exspensive power cords. And as previous posters have mentioned, Larry is a great guy to deal with.

The ideal one is probably one of Harmonix's. I think one is $1895 and the other is $3500. I should know as I am one of their dealers but as I have never contemplated selling one I don't. Meanwhile, back on planet reality, I like VPI's ring and weight [ I am one of their dealers] and also TT weights products. I recently got one of their heavy weights and it works well. Got their lighter ring yesterday, looks good also. The SOTA clamp also works well, I have used it in the past. Very subjective topic , I think they help a lot but a friend who has a Raven doesn't like them.

It took me 10 seconds to realize the benefits of a clamp. Even though screw on clamps are amazing, they are a pain. Lever clamps are much easier.
Be careful on clamp height. Some will prevent you from closing your dust cover.

Larry's products are stellar and he's a great guy to deal with

Thumbs up all the way
He's also local which is an added bonus
