Dear Raul,

"overhang: 16.5mm, offset angle: 21.95° and P2S: 233.5mm. The distortion levels goes down again as tracking error. That is Löfgren A/Baerwald alignment but now with and EL: 250mm. "

Yes, but we need very very long headshell (I do not know such a sample) and we can not use Ortofon SPU and FR-7 cartridges.

My choice for FR64S is P2S 230mm. Löfgren A/Baerwald aligment via headshell: overhang: 16.7mm, offset angle: 22.25°, effective length 246.7mm.  If I use Ortofon SPU and FR-7, I am just on Stevenson geometry (by the way with great results).
