what is diff: Class "A", "A/B", and "B"


I am confused as to the meaning of the various categories of amps/pre-amps. Is a class A necessarily better than a class a/b or c etc. Would someone care to briefly list some of the brands that fall in these categories and why?
I know, it's a small question.
thanks,

Now that we all have a good idea (?) of the class A, B, A/B, was there something else I missed? Oh yeah, private first class :) The bottom line is, just go out and listen to the amp/preamp. If you like the way it sounds then buy it.
