FR-64 series arms and Baerwald alignment

[Direct Drive]

I'm interested if those of you using FR64 series arms are using Baerwald (or Lofgren) alignment or the specified 15mm overhang?
If you are using Baerwald are you mounting at 230mm or as I have seen suggested elsewhere 231.6mm? (Or should it be 228.4mm....I've seen that suggested too).
If 231.6mm are you using 230mm on for example Dr Friekart protractor for stylus tip and then aligning the canterlever.
Or just arm distance 230mm, stylus tip 230mm and twisting the body in the headshell to get canterlever alignment?

I’m actually setting up a FR-64fx now for Baerwald and I’m using 231.5mm as Acoustical Systems specifies with their Smartractor manual.

Yes, the P-S distance.

I also set mine at 231.5 and use it with an FR7 and also try a variety of carts with it.

Hmm.. for baerwald i recall to set mine at 228.x but the collar to tip has to be around 46-48mm if i recall correctly. At 231.5 i cannot align correctly but the closest point has the collar to tip around 50mm, which is what most fixed headshell carts come with. This is all from memory.
