Tubes 101 On Line

I am opening this thread for newbie builders, Wannabe builders, and eye candy spectators.
A lot of questions have been passed around and they are good ones, the problem is that they are dispersed within the site. So I will attempt to consolidate them thru this thread, Such will allow us to have a permanent consolidated record of triode amplifier building concepts.
I will skip a lot of parts that can be covered by further reading, I will only emphasize on key points assuming your indulgences and forgiving judgement.
I will attempt to recreate what I have presented from the past sessions thru this thread. I will make it as layman as possible. Practically, let's follow this format.
Series I
Part 1 - Fundamentals and Basics
1. Sinusoids, Phases, Freq. & Time Domain
2. Distortion & Harmonics
3. Resistance
3. Capacitance
4. Inductance
Part 2 - Tubes
1. Diodes & It's Operation
2. Triodes & It's operation
3. Triode Amplifier Design (Graphical & Mathematical Methods)
4. Tweaks, Hints & Kinks
I will only have one rule, If you have questions or clarifications, open a new thread regarding that topic so as we do not swamp this thread and it will maintain it's virgin format easier for others to digest down the line.
Okay?
