is anyone still making 7075 stems?

erenes:
I completly understand 6061 is affordable. When forged properly its plenty strong bla bla blah...

But my problem is that if feels rubbish during 1st installation. ALWAYS. Soft and potato like.
Newschool design with shorter and shorter bolts arereally too short for 6061 (threads will die sooner or later).
Then BAM BAM BAM  threads are really dying too fast. even w/o overtigtening.
6061 stems are for 50kgs kids ONLY. Terrible!

Who is still making solid 7075 topload stems?

Bunky:
Pretty sure the Eclat Burns stem is 7075.

condrbkr:
Wasn't the consensus that 7075 was too sniff leaving it prone for snappage instead of bending like 6061. With that being said the Primo Aneyerlator is the only stem I know of that's still 7075. 

Narcoleptic Insomniac:
Thomson is 7000 series i believe.

erenes:
"...For Sean, we created a fully CNC machined 6061-T6 ..."

few years ago most good stems were 7075.
Some cracked becasue of poor design.
