Hi Brian,

Thanks for useful infos.
Recently I had possibility to enter in to supplier warehouse to check how the magnet react on different ss materials.
I found some types which attracted the magnet still less than 316L. I'm not an expert in metallurgy, also I do not know what is the main preference of ss material for a good turntable platter. What do you think is it worth to choose other material or 316L is good enough.
I see you use the heavy weight ss platter from years, could you confirm that the bearing performing well and resist to higher mass?

Thanks a lot!
