Getting into vinyl is not cheap particularly if you don't have a substantial record collection. New and reissued vinyl is overpriced and in many cases very poor quality. If you have the time and wherewithall to attend record shows, record stores, and work with on-line vendors you'll fare much better. In any case, you'll need to commit a big chunk of your time to build a collection.
Also keep in mind analog is quite interactive. You don't grab the remote, hit a button, and kick back.
Lastly, as documented by previous posters, most but not all, vinylphiles find themselves in a continuous state of upgradeitis. Symptoms include frustration, confusion, and insomnia.
Which brings you back to expense and interactivity.
IMO, your money is better spent upgrading the weakest links in the system i.e. the cd player, amp, and preamp.
