ou might slip, you might slide, you might
Stumble and fall by the road side
But don't you ever let nobody drag your spirit down
Remember you're walking up to heaven
Don't let nobody turn you around
… Walk with the rich, walk with the poor
Learn from everyone, that's what life is for
And don't you let nobody drag your spirit down

Well, the Graaf 5050 has finally arrived!
What a fab amp it is. It holds my MBL speakers in a vice like grip with seemingly limitless power.
Fast, dynamic, taut, vibrant, fast, spacious, detailed, fast, superb soundstage/imaging .... oh, and did I mention that it was fast?
A stonkingly good amp, and an excellent match for my tastes and system.
It came with Svetlana "winged C" 6550 power tubes, which if t'interweb is to be believed are pretty good. And some grotty EH ecc88 input tubes. I replaced the latter pronto with some Tesla pcc88 and the sound overcame its initial closed-in feel, as expected.
I also now have some Amperex ecc88 on order and a friend is loaning me some Siemens ecc88 to try.
I thought I had some Telefunken pcc88 toobs around, but I can't find the damn things.
There may be a touch of 'steel' in the upper freqs to the sound, but it's OK and I'm pretty confident I can sort this with a bit of tube rolling.

I like Graaf amps too, have listen to them a couple times and they definitely bring the valve goods in spades IMO.
Don't be fooled, Graaf is Italian and they know their way in the valve world and so do they with loudspeakers, think Diapason Adamantes and alike.
Not only gorgeous but with an unpretentious quality-sound I very like.
Enjoy Jerry. I know for sure you made a good choice!
