Good Clamp for VPI HW-19?

Mark,

Thanks alot for the input. I am not worried about dust cover clearance, I can just leave clamp off when not in use. In your opinion how much should I spend?

Well used to own a scout that had the stainless steal clamp and like it. I was thinking I could do better than the plastic standard VPI clamp for 100.

Opus,

I have heard that the sound quality is fine with the standard one. Although many have said that after a few years the center pin started popping out. So if I could get a complete metal one for the same price I am all for it. I wonder if this is due to them screwing it down a little to tightly perhaps?
