Analog nirvana- what does it take to get there?

What tonearms are considered the best in the world?????
I just read some threads on arms I have never heard of and am curious as hell!!
I know this depends on what table and cartridge is being used, but the table, cartridge and phono preamp can be listed with the tonearm.
I am only now getting the idea that analog can get much better than what I currently own.
I hope to some day reach the higher levels of analog reproduction.
I own a blackbird and am working my way up to an hr-x with a graham 2.2 with a pass xono possibly.
Is there anything I should be informed about at this point to set me on the right path?
