Can anyone explain what a power tube does inside an amplifier, eg kt88.
Why is it necessary to have eight Power tubes on a mono block amp? Assuming its 300 watts, does this mean each tube is incrementally amplifying the total watt availability? Why not just do a few tubes, or would that means less watts available? Th...

Oh my God, the document above is 760 pages long. It looks pretty damn awesome and it has pictures.  I wonder if it was ever translated into another language.  Fortunately I only can read English and how lucky I am this document is in English. I f... 
Does the Audio press ever excite you anymore?
It's a very curious Role they play. They display a lovely amplifier or speaker they just received and they're in love with it.  When was the last time you see them not being in love with something. It's a little bit compelling to watch these guy...

@tonydennison  Chat GBT did a great job above. And your comment asking how it actually controls the valve activity is very key. Also there was a document above from @tablejockey that looks very promising. Ultimately the end answer, is likely ve...

I've asked this question directly to humans and haven't had good answers. I don't think many people really do know. Google reference is not good on this point for some reason. YouTube doesnt offer an explanation of what happens inside a tube that ... 
Why is solid state more popular when tubes are better?
Zesto!, if I was ever selling preamps, I would definitely want to name them zesto. How can I take this brand name seriously

Presto, if I was selling preamps I would definitely want to name it presto.

@ghdprentice  And how did it sound? Any tubes?

Transistors transistors transistors. Need more transistors. At least with tubes you could see it and swap out. With transistors who the hell knows what the heck it is. So the manuf company buy some transistors from China or some far off place and... 
Best way to clean glossy finish on speakers?
I ran across a package of two types of microfiber fabrics and link below, which includes a soft microfiber towels and a leatherly smooth fabric swatch that would seem to be ultra smooth. I’ve seen them before when they come with glasses i have bo... 
Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping?
How come they don't design biamping amps that are both tubes for top drivers and solid state for bass drivers? Maybe I begin to do this and make a lot of money  
Best way to clean glossy finish on speakers?
In light of the diversity of comments above and they have all been amazing, I think we can all agree that speaker surfaces can be a amazingly Beautiful to look at, and arguably are the most beautiful part of your system, and possibly your Home. It... 
Best way to clean glossy finish on speakers?
Interesting comment about cleaning drivers cones above. Never thought to clean them, exactly how does one go about doing that? Maybe a light dusting from a swiffer? Because people are around and so forth I keep the covers on and they look fine.  
Why is solid state more popular when tubes are better?
That's a personal question, I don't have to answer that. Not sure that's relevant.   
Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping?
Seems biamping in an ideal way would be using a tube amplifier for upper drivers, and solid state for bass. I believe it's widely accepted that tube amps for bass drivers presents lots of less than ideal issues. To me using solid state across all...
