no. there is no aluminum in the apogee gtz block, it is made out of a copper base and housing is CNC machined out of durable Delrin material

EDIT: aww got outposted xD

Yeah, the older GTX used an anodized aluminum top on it, IIRC. That was the main reason I stayed away from it. Even though the anodizing is supposed to keep any galvanic corrosion from happening, the slightest scratch on the anodizing will leave a spot for the corrosion to start.

The GTX came with a nickel plated aluminum top but not the GTZ.
