You have gotten alot of different opinions but this is where I would start. First play with the placement of your speakers. Sometimes if you find the perfect spot in your room the soundstage will open up and your speakers will deliver what you are looking for. Next I would look at the platform you have your turntable on. I have a top notch table but it really improved with a 3" maple platform underneath it. Cost about $300.
Look at a $1,500 - $2,000 lomc. That along with better vibration management of your VPI will maximize your front end and possibly astonish you.
I know nothing about your cables but the attention to your source is where I would start.
