Same as a regular radio, except signals are amplified and controlled by valves, or 'tubes' instead of solid state electronics (transistors). Tubes, as well as the output transformer that often acompany them (or simply 'Autoformers') provide a pleasent rolled off sound that many find more 'musical' than the harshness that can be solid-state. You can also try Autoformer/Solid state hybrid SS amplification to get tube sound and SS reliablility. McIntosh being the only producer thereof (see www.audioclassics.com).
It really all comes down to the sound YOU prefer, and if tubes light your fire, so be it.

Just like the valves used in valve stereo equipment or old radios. Except in computers (like the transistors in modern computers) valves are usually driven fully into saturation and cutoff, while in a valve stereo or old radio valves are usually operated as linear amplifiers with minimal distortion.
