Question on FR 66s

For some reason, search on FR 66s in agon did not turn up anything much. I recalled that recommended S2P distance is 296mm rather than 295mm and Stevenson geometry seems to work best. Is this correct? I already have FR 64s which works very nicely with Koetsu. In general, does FR 66s works well with the more modern cartridges, Lyra, Air Tight, Dynavector etc.
I am kind of curious to try it but not sure what to try it with. Beside those mentioned on my system page, I have Kiseki Blue, XV-1s and Miyajima Zero on hand currently.

Thanks for any suggestion.

Halcro, I am very clueless about this and I am not quite sure what to do with the information that you give. I think I need a remedial study on this!

Came with my FR 66s arm, there is a paper protractor, is that the FR66s original tangential curve/geometry that you mentioned in the above post? I guess I need to give that a try.

Suteetat,
I know it sounds very complex and most users do not really get involved with Overhangs and Off-Set Angles.
To make it easier for you....I think you can go in any of three ways:-
1. Use the FR recommended P2S Distances for both FR-64 and 66 arms and set the geometry for Baerwald according to any accurate devices you have.
2. Use a device like the Universal Feikert Protractor to set both the P2S Distance and Overhang of each arm. This is all you need to do to have the correct geometry.
3. Purchase the UniTractor from Dertonarm which will come with the correct Templates for both arms.....and any other arms you may have or may buy in the future.

Dear Nandric,
how old is your aunt and would you describe her as beautiful and eager to invest in an adventure?

Would the same geo suggested for the FR64s work for the FR64fx? More specifically I'm thinking about optimum geo for the FR64fx with an SPU.

Halcro, thanks for your help. I am already doing No1 at the moment. My Feickert NextGen protractor does not have correction for overhang as far as I can tell. Just set P2S distance and choose geometry and that's about it.
A bit of a bummer as I chose to order SMARTracter rather than Uni-tracker (along with Arche headshell) just a few days ago. Oh well... a friend ordered Uni-tracter so at least I will have a chance to try it and see how that go.
