Home Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

What, if anything, do high transconductance triodes bring to the table?

I read things like,

"This tube has a very high transconductance for exceptional performance in preamplifier and driver circuits."

and

"Connected as a triode it has super low noise,
high transconductance..."

And

"This Russian military triode is a relatively recent design with high transconductance and low mu for exceptional performance at audio frequencies."

But no where can I find an explanation of why high transconductance is better.
