AR turntable With Ortofon OM 20 super? & phono amp

Okay this is my second thread on the Analog.. I have kinda decided to try running with an Ortofon OM 20 super, on "The AR turntable" basically from what I understand the same as the ES1, which I own Currently working perfectly... Now that being said, I realize yes the table is not the best for isolation and sound, was good in its day, and just changeing to a VPI package or something for 1500-2500 will of course be an overall upgrade, however I do not think I need to be in that catagory of Vinyl spinner honestly, I want GOOD, I would like Great, with substantial Bass, Soundstage and dynamics, but to what end, especially since I may use this table 4-5 times a month at an hour or so a time.

I am looking to pull out as much of the sound off whatever cartridge I end up with to the max whether the ortofon is a match I should attempt via the audiogon members or not, So a Good Gain phono pre is needed, solid Bass, high output, whatever it takes.. Used is the way I would like to go, would like to be in the 500.00 range or less for that, but would like to definatly hear a solid upgrade in the sound, I currently have the Cambridge Audio 99.00 Phono pre, MM only, It sounds decent and even better with good Vinyl recordings, but maybe I am missing something, I Don't know? And it does Sound Fairly WEAK with the output of an Older SHURE v15 that is mounted on the arm right now... Thanks for the further Help.
