Yes there is a bit of grain in the 606 compared to my tube amp, but IMO every (reasonably priced and some not so reasonable) solid state power amp I have heard has some grain. That's a reason to love tubes.
However the 606 and other Quad current dumping amps can be renewed and improved--there are many ideas and sources on the net just google Quad 606 mods. One very interesting site is www.quadmodsusa.com Much better parts including new output devices can be installed. Who knows what a souped up 606 could actually sound like? Probably killer.
Thinking of upgrading my 606 for the next quarter century of service......
