In my "simplified" example the tubes are used to "amplify" the signal. So the signal arrives at the cathode in the tube. The electrons then "jump" to the anode. Now the signal has become "louder" and travels through wires to the speakers. As you turn the volume control up, it results in a larger quantity of electrons making the "jump" further amplifying the original signal.
Cheers!
