You're right about the vdH Grail.
Last year I auditioned nearly everything balanced in the £5k to £15k range.
Grail was the best by a long road. It has everything, accuracy, soundstage, realism.
And it can be connected single-end or balance. I noted many contenders are SE only when balanced is the clear best way to go. I didn't audition any of those because my system runs balance from stylus to speakers.
