Not having gotten a chance to har he new aluminum I wonder how good it is myself.I know one guy here (wish I could find him in systems if he is there) made a plinth out of a solid billet and told me he researched what aluminum was a type must inert (grade gain or structure),But Supper's be they 25 or 30 lbs have more mass and inertia.I have mentioned this before here but best platter was TNT V which weighed over 20 LBS and was made of methylcrelet (if I remember correctly) lead and steel and was told by a few people I trust never use a mat even an expensive copper or synthetic with the V.I wonder if this holds true with aluminum,But of course the older ones did not have newer inverted bearing (good?not good?).And no ring clamp.But Harry had to stop making them because of EU regs and the lead.I have spare and know even the Scout can get it albeit with more stress due to weight.But yeah it is a bummer that now it's only aluminum unless you buy a HRX which has the acrylic steel sandwich.No mas for more mass right now.
