RE: Decipher This

Although I have trouble with the concept that music qualities (not distortions) are influenced by the way electrons bounce around. I keep my mind open :>)

There is something to be said for the manipulation of electrons to provide uniform flow from Cathode to plate. All valves with more than 3 elements are the result of trying to get maximum uniform electron flow. The suppressor grid is used to slow electrons down to minimize bouncing off the plate and creating distortions. The Beam Tetrode uses plates to control the profile of the electron flow and so on...
