Single Ended Triodes (SETs), the ultimate tube lovers dream.

What's a "signal tube"?

This is a new one on me. Can somebody fill me in on the terminology of tube stages? Assuming we have three stages in an amplifier, these go:

1. Input tube
2. Driver tube
3. Output or final tube.

Is a "signal tube" the input tube in this case?

What other possible designations are there for these tube stages, just to clear this up.

Thanks, Andy (in UK so we struggle with tube/valve, plate/anode and various other things)
