Analog newbee looking for advice

So after contemplating buying a universal player, I've decided that there aren't enough titles to justify the cost of a high-end player. As an alternative, I've decided to give vinyl a try. It seems there is a consensus that vinyl sounds better than redbook, so here's my question: How much do I have to spend to get an analog setup that will sound "better" than my redbook setup?

My CDP is Resolution Audio CD55 and I'll be buying an Opus 21 soon (inevitably).

It's my opinion that the production quality of the recording is a bigger factor than the format/media so let's assume we're comparing the same recording on CD/vinyl.

I am actually satisfied with the sound of my best sounding CDs with my current setup, but those great sounding CDs are few and far between...

Please be kind with your responses, I'm too lazy to search the forum for similar questions/answers.

Thanks in advance!

I guess the only other consideration is how much of the music you enjoy is readily available on vinyl. Unfortunatley, there is so much more available on CD. There is an ever increasing supply of new vinyl releases, but they are neither cheap or again, always what you may prefer to listen to.
Vinyl does have a magic "something?" that even the best digital misses. You relax around it.
