A is a type of or Cathode , the Grid , and the Plate or Anode . The triode vacuum tube was the first electrical Amplification device.
Triodes are largely obsolete, having been replaced by the Transistor , but do still find application where power consumption and overall size are not concerns, but low component count and high power capacity are. They are also still valued by Musicians and Audiophiles for amplification purposes, as some claim that triodes are still more linear at Audio - Frequency ranges.
