How Good Can My Vinyl Get?

So here is a question for turntable fans. I got back into vinyl recently, and so I decided to go with a budget starter table to see if it was for me. I got a UTurn Orbit Plus, with a pluto phono preamp and an Ortofon OM10 cartridge and have been really been enjoying it. It sounds very nice. eTotal outlay was about $500.

I suppose my question is...if I were to double, triple or even quadruple my initial investment, could i get a noticeably significant upgrade in sound quality or is it all just fractions of a degree past a certain point? I’m not talking about needing a $10k set of speakers to appreciate it kind of difference....i mean an improvement that makes you glad you spent the money.

How much scability exists in vinyl?

Not to be discouraging but it can be pretty expensive. Probably the best way is to go with an Atmosphere preamp with phono. Two birds, one stone. Then it's Cart/TT. Step up TT or go whole hog, maybe 5K? After that start swapping in cartridges. 
Beware, just with the question you asked you have peeked at the rabbit hole. IMO scalability is there in vinyl.
