Yo need a good platform for the turntable to sit on. Butcher blocks made from Canadian hard maple will do the trick. Make sure it is at least 3" thick.
You can remove the platter mat and replace it with the SDS Isoplat, Boston Mat 1 or better yet, the Harmonix TU-800exi.
Add a record clamp. HRS makes an incredible clamp called the ADL (analog Disc).
Like the others have mentioned, the Dynavector 20X is a great sounding cartidge. I heard one at a friend's store and for that money, you cannot go wrong.
Your TT is a very good base to start messing with. Take it one step at the time and it will reward you significantly.
