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.
