Op-Amp) Introduction History: The audio amplifier was invented in 1909 by Lee De Forest when he invented the triode vacuum tube. The triode was a three terminal device with a control grid that can modulate the flow of electrons from the filament to the plate. The triode vacuum amplifier was used to make the first AM radio.[2] Early audio power amplifiers were based on vacuum tubes (also known as valves)‚ and some of these achieved notably high quality (e.g.‚ the Williamson amplifier of 1947-9)

Two problems associated with vacuum tubes are that they are very power consuming devices and the size of the vacuum tubes. "Video - Part 3" 4. Transistors were better than the vacuum tube because they were smaller‚ faster‚ more reliable‚ and cheaper to mass produce. But the problem with transistors was they still have to be hand-wired which limits how small
