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.

I have a VPI Scoutmaster and have used VPI's stock clamp and their upgraded clamp. I now use a TT Weight clamp, which is my preference. Ease of use and retreval of detail both much improved. Service from TT Weights is top notch also. Give Larry a call at TT a call or e-mail, he's a really good guy.

Second, the TTWeights. Srwooten is absolutely correct. The above clamp replaced a much more expensive clamp in my system.

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!!!
