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.

I read on this thread that you have a few protractors including a clearaudio and have an FR64 arm.
I have both the FR64S and a Clearaudio protractor. Using the 231.5 Bearwald pivot to spindle length my cartridge fully forward in the ehadshell still does not reach the little circle for the stylus. If I use 230mm I can - just. I've read that the Clearaudio is very similar to Bearwald - is that correct, or did you have the same issue finding that you had insufficient headshell to get the right overhang

thanks
