Can a diode amplify sound?
ELS122:
is a diode whit an indirectly heated cathode a triode?? I thought not... it's pretty much like changing the voltage of a diode at one end, which changes it at the other. and if the diode has some gain it could theoretically amplify the signal.

The diode has no gain so cannot theoretically amplify anything.
Yansi:
Here you are, a parametric audio amplifier using varactors... and some other interesting stuff. This is what I]d call a diode amplifier.

In short: No.
In long: It might be able to hack together some awful solution with a uselessly small gain.

TD718 is a tunnel diode, afaik..
You may use a traveling wave tube as well then :)
