With your strict all balanced requirements you should take a look at Boulder. If you are limited to one cartridge and 100 ohm load impedance is suitable, the 508 would be a great value at the price (ca. $5000). If you need more flexibility with two inputs, any load impedance you fancy and alternative equalization curves for pre RIAA era records, the 1008 is a great choice. I’ve been using this device for years and never felt the need to upgrade. It’s hugely dynamic, totally transparent, very neutral and dead silent. Your system is certainly up to it. The 1008 originally cost around $12k in 2009, but it’s now deleted and replaced by the new 1108. The difference seems mostly cosmetic to match with the new 1100 series amps and the inevitable price increase. Hunting down a previously used 1008 might be a more interesting option. If you can find one, they don’t come around very often.
You didn’t mention budget, but if price is no object, there are far more options. A sign of the times I guess. A used Boulder 2008 might be located at a reasonable price, but after that all bets are off: Boulder 2108, d’Agostino Momentum, Soulution, Ypsilon, the list keeps growing. All fully balanced and all fully unaffordable for us regular folks.
Good luck with your search!
