There are several reasons that I would discourage you against vinyl.
At the top the number one reason which made the compact disk an instant World Wide success was it's over whelming convenience of use.
My suggestions would be to put your money into improving what you have now be it mods to your player and or vibration control including finding the right amps for your Harbeth speakers as you mention, I think money well spent.
Someone like yourself in this position of never owning a record player, a collection of Lps and everything that should go along with it including developing your own expectations with vinyl playback.
You could very easily find yourself not enjoying it and throwing money at it is not a solution either, it takes time and gained knowledge.
Sorry for the wet blanket , just something to think about carefully.
