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.

Go for one which doesn't ruin your bearing, the Orsonic for example.

Do the TTweights threaded Clamps for VPI have a dished underside, like the VPI Clamps, to work in conjunction, with the Rubber Washer on a VPI Platter? From the pics on his site, I see no evidence of this, just a dead flat underside? Mark

Syntax, i have often found that with clamp there is a gain in definition and a loss in aeration, is it the case with the orsonic? Thanks in advance

the Sota clamp works very well, and doesnt add a lot of weight to the bearing or affect the suspension on suspended tables. I like to use the outer ring on my Transrotor Fat Bob, but not on my suspended tables.
