I hate to be the contrarian in the group, but what is it that you don't like about your KAB Technics? Your table is an excellent value turntable that will accommodate a reasonable range of cartridges and is built to last.
You can get adapter armboards for the Technics to accommodate Rega (and compatible from Origin Live), Linn, Jelco, and SME tonearms from Sound Hi-Fi. For the money you're talking, you could put a SME 309 or Series V tonearm on your KAB/Technics.
For more information and a review of a Technics/SME 309, go here, download Issue 22, and go to page 15.
And you could add a 1/4" thick Herbie's Way Excellent Mat and--if you haven't already done so--some better feet.
