2. Tube sound - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tube_sound

   Tube sound (or valve sound) is the characteristic sound associated with a vacuum tube amplifier (valve amplifier in British English), a vacuum tube-based audio amplifier. [1] At first, the concept of tube sound did not exist, because practically all electronic amplification of audio signals was done with vacuum tubes and other comparable ...

3. Valve audio amplifier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_audio_amplifier

   A valve audio amplifier or vacuum tube audio amplifier is a valve amplifier used for sound reinforcement, sound recording and reproduction. Until the invention of solid state devices such as the transistor , all electronic amplification was produced by valve (tube) amplifiers.

4. Valve amplifier - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_amplifier

   In audio applications, valves continue to be highly desired by most professional users, particularly in recording studios' equipment and guitar amplifiers. There is a subgroup of audio enthusiasts who advocate the use of tube amplifiers for home listening. They argue that tube amplifiers produce a "warmer" or more "natural" valve sound ...

5. Output transformerless - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Output_transformerless

   Output transformerless (OTL) is a type of vacuum tube audio power amplifier, which omits an output transformer for the purpose of greater linearity and fidelity. Conventional vacuum tube amplifier designs rely upon an output transformer to couple the amplifier's output stage to the loudspeaker.

6. Single-ended triode - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-ended_triode

   A SET tube audio amplifier. A single-ended triode (SET) is a vacuum tube electronic amplifier that uses a single triode to produce an output, in contrast to a push-pull amplifier which uses a pair of devices with antiphase inputs to generate an output with the wanted signals added and the distortion components subtracted.

7. Valve audio amplifier technical specification - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_audio_amplifier...

   The characteristics of valves as gain devices have direct implications for their use as audio amplifiers, notably that power amplifiers need output transformers (OPTs) to translate a high-output-impedance high-voltage low-current signal into a lower-voltage high-current signal needed to drive modern low-impedance loudspeakers (cf. transistors ...
