Best Arm for Raven One?

I am thinking about getting a Raven One TT. Would like to hear from owners. What arms do you like for this table?

I've been extremely happy with this combo, and it was recommended to me by Jeff at Highwater Sound, as I could not afford the Phantom. The phono cable I use is the Synergistic Tricon Analog. If I had the money I probably would have sprung for the Phantom, but I feel I am not missing out on a whole lot with this set-up. Good luck with whatever you choose!--Mrmitch

Do I believe the Ortofon arm is as good as the Phantom? No. But the Raven's own designer may have felt that there was some synergy betweeen it and his own turntable(s).
