Can anyone explain what a power tube does inside an amplifier, eg kt88.


I know a tube is cool looking, and looks like a small lightbulb with many pins on one side and when it's turned on filaments glow inside a vacuum enclosed see-through curvy glass enclosure.  I guess current flows in, goes on a journey, and then flows out.

Takes space for all those sweaty little charged particles to do their thang...😏

SS stuff makes the work easier....and less expensive...

Well, originally...anyway...;)
