That's seriously interesting! Thanks for the link.

As a humorous aside, for my birthday one year, an electronics mentor gave me a chip glued to the anode cap on top of a tube. He made a little label for it that read "microprocessor controlled tube", just as a joke. It was meant to be ridiculous, like putting a supercharger on a horse-drawn carriage.

But as the years passed, and we've seen a resurgence of vacuum tubes in audio circuits, I've often thought of that. With digital sources driving tube amplifiers, we now really do have lots of examples of microprocessor controlled tubes. And this link shows even more advancements in this area.
