Best, or ideal record clamp


Record clamps seem to be an obvious benefit in the process of playing records. Do record clamps work with every turntable? Are there certain clamps specific to brand A or B turntable because they work better with these brands? What is considered to be an excellent after market record clamp? I was recently told the HR record clamp is a good one to purchase. If so, what are the differences? Any advice is welcome. I own 2 turntables. One is a Brinkman, the other a Thorens TD124.

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.
