Congrats. I use the plus with my zyx universe. The synergy between Evans ZYX is great.
I now own a regular Groove after selling my ARC PH3SE. I thought I would miss tubes, but after hearing the Groove for the past 2 months I still am not missing tubes. The black background, awesome dynamics, and sweet midrange has me hooked. A more effortless presenation of the music compared to my previous phono amp. The Groove Plus must be incredible.

hey David, yes the groove plus is quite incredible, all that you have mentioned and then some, what i love is the sweet musical presentation, the realism of the music must be heard to be appreciated, live lps are down right live, the draw back is difficulty of setup, mine is set at 200 ohms and that works well with my zyx airy three x sb, mike
My audiophile friend and me did a Phono Stage Comparison between Groove+, Klyne 7 and one I forgot. When we connected the Groove+ after the Klyne we thought both, that we made a fault with interconnects or something like that. Good as it is, but really overhyped.
Btw. Cartridge was UNIverse low output copper, Kuzma Air Line and Graham Phantom.
going to add a few more things i have going on in my system now with the groove+, to try and get the sound i was looking for i was cheating, tracking to light with my airy 3, and not using any damping with my Vpi 10.5i arm, i am sure there are no rules in audio, you try this and that to get to your end, but sometime you wind up off the trail and dont realize it, now tracking a little over two grams the airy is a much better tracker, as far as my ear 834p i had it modded by Mitch, telefunken smooth plates, Herbie's supersonic tube dampers, Black Sand violet z1 power cord, it was a great phono pre but not in the same ball park, i have cream live at Royal Albert Hall playing now and its simply terrific, mike
