RE: Re:TU-870R 6BM8 Tube AMP Kit.

6BM8 is a combination of a triode and a pentode. In this tube, the triode part works as an audio pre-amplifier (amplified voltage) that feeds the pentode (Power amplification) section which acts as an audio main-amplifier.

Your Question
power amplification (Pentode)
amplified voltage (Triode)

Voltage amplifiers are distinguished from other categories of amplifiers whose ability to amplify voltages, or lack thereof, is of secondary importance. Amplifiers in other categories usually are designed to deliver power gain (power amplifiers, including push-pull amplifiers) or to isolate one part of a circuit from another (buffers and emitter followers). Power amplifiers may or may not have voltage gain, while buffers and emitter followers generally produce power gain without a corresponding voltage gain. Power amplifier; Push-pull amplifier.
