The price ratio between table,arm, and cartridge

What should be the price ratio between a turntable, tonearm, and cartridge? Example: if the table is $1000, how much should you spend on a tonearm and how much should you spend on a cartridge, for everything to be a good match?

Viridian's post above is correct -- but you want a clear-cut, black or white, immediately applicable formula. No grey areas.
Here goes:
1: 1,41: 3,15 (cartridge to arm to TT). That's the optimum ratio. Seriously, it's not bad. Regards
