How can I make my Kenwood 5070 TT sound better?

I've had a model 5070 Kenwood table for quite some time. It's completely original aside from the Stanton headshell and Empire 2000X cart I currently use in it. My question is what alterations/modifications can I do to make it sound better? I'm exceptionally interested in trading out the tonearm if possible. I really like this old table, and any advice or suggestions would sure be appreciated.

Thanks, Les

Yes Les, www.jacksmusicfactory.com has the OM-20 Super for $109.00 and shipping is included! Excellent choice, you will really enjoy it, just don't judge it until broken in, about 50 hours or so.

Thanks for your input. I've got an Ortofon OM-20 in it's way from Jacksmusicfactory. I'm hoping to also try this on my Denon DP1200 TT. It may prove to work well for both tables.

I'll write more when I know more.

Best regards, Les

I've been using the new Ortofon OM 20 for a couple of weeks now. It sounds better with every album I play. I also picked up a pair of really nice oak Klipsch KG 4's. Thanks again for the advice!
