FR64s Dynamic or Static Balance


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?

Thanks,

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.
