Some tweaks might help, but in the end you're right that your vinyl rig is weak compared to your digital setup.
I've found that to do vinyl as well as good digital requires a larger investment. My universal disc player retails for $6K and it's quite good. OTOH, my TT, tonearm, cartridge and phono stage would retail for a combined $25K+. Now they're well beyond "quite good", but even to match the $6K digital player would probably cost at least twice as much.
Should you do that or buy more LPs? Only you can decide that. If there's music on LP you're dying to hear, buy it. OTOH, if you really wouldn't enjoy it on your present rig, upgrade that and add LPs as you can. It's a personal decision no one but you can make. :-)
