If you can avoid making a purchase for an extended period.
I suggest selecting a few Albums that have impressed you from the digital collection and see if these are available for reasonable money as a Vinyl Purchase.
To get the maximum value of the Vinyl as a source media, if these can be cleaned for you, it would be worth the small additional investment.
Both yourself and any owner of equipment being demonstrated will appreciate recently cleaned LP's
From that point on, it will depend on how many demonstrations you can arrange for a Vinyl Set Up within your budget.
My thoughts are that if you stick close to your Budget with New Equipment you will be more impressed how a Digital Source SQ Compares.
If you are looking at having demonstrations of used devices that were once over your budget, there is a good possibility that the Vinyl Source might be able to show the attractors it is known for over the Digital.
As an initial experiment and re-introduction to a Vinyl Source,
acquiring a few Albums is not too expensive and the arranged demonstrations could introduce you to a new friend who is kept in contact with.
