Man; you have decent sound! Thats a nice Vintage system that probably plays music better than 95% of everything else out there.
There are; as I see it some good choices you could make if your budget is tight. You could try an older table like a Thorens with the crappy Thorens arm for now.
I like all of the 1600/1700/1800 Technics tables because they have the good arm and are built like tanks, very speed stable and troublefree. And they sound pretty good. You can get them off E-Bay for 150$ usually with a decent cartridge. They retain their re-sale value also.
If you wish to go new; the Rega is a good table but after paying full price you may hit the 450$ mark. And truthfully; the least expensive Rega probably doesn't sound any better than the Technics does. Maybe worse with worse wow and flutter specs.
