I have a FR64s that I am using now with a Koetsu Jade and FR7f. What combinations of dynamic and static balance have users experimented with and decided worked more favourably-- or not?
I use 0.75g dynamic and the balance static for my Koetsu Black & FR1mk3. I use precision scales for both - the markings on the dynamic balance knob are not accurate.
As Dover suggested, most internet gurus have recommended about a 50/50 distribution of the VTF between dynamic and static. However, I do find that the venier setting for VTF on my FR64S is accurate to within +/-0.1 gm, if I take great care in zero balancing the tonearm with the venier set to "0". But most of the time, I am too lazy to fret over that. I have never done the experiment carefully enough to say that I can confirm the belief that mixing the two modes of setting VTF is beneficial; I just do it that way.
