Moonguy, I have tried many clamps including the VPI clamps and the VPI centre and periphery weight. I have also tried the HRS, Furutech Monza, Thorens and the BDR one piece. Differences were subtle, but my preference was the BDR.

Grease with a teflon (PTEE) additive will have a lower coefficient of friction than just lithium grease. The better performing greases also use synthetic oil as the base as oppose to mineral oil.
