Share your real knowledge on cartridge arm matchin

Raul, next time I'll make it easier for everybody. Name your favorite top three cartridge/arm combinations. Forget the reasons, who needs to learn?

R_f_sayles, in the six threads you started before on Audiogon you seemed to be looking for real answers and when you answered other threads you gave intelligent comments. I guess this thread's direction struck your funny bone.
