I will double up on what Emenel says...
However the real issue in vinyl is getting the vinyl you want if you have nothing, and good enough copies to warrant saying it is better than the Cd's you wish to correct.
A good vinyl rig can for sure be put together in many forms and manufactures, cartridge outputs etc.. at your 2k to 3k range for sure. But remember this to take advantage of the best in analog much of the investment is the time, learning, and Tools of the trade such as a good cleaning machine, and other setup devices etc... to get the best out of your investment. so if you decide to drop 3k on a nice vinyl rig, new or used, remember you will start to find the need for many other little key items down the road to really have a library of proud and excellent sound... For example good inner sleeves for your black discs.
One good thing about all Analog rigs over any CD player in general, accept if it has tubes and you can play with the flavor a little, you can really adjust the sound to your liking once you know how on a turntable. So yes if your looking for a fun different version of what your Opus does now you can get it, just depends on how far you are willing to go to get there.
