It's all very interesting, but your demo sounds seem to have a LOT of 60 Hz
hum in them. It would be nice to also hear the original input sounds as
well, for comparison. One cool way to do this might be to have the original
sound on the left channel of the WAV file, and the processed sound on the
right channel. If that is indeed extraneous 60Hz hum that I hear in your
demos, perhaps you need to add some sort of shielding?

Like I said, it's interesting. Let us know if you come up with anything
else using this concept. Since you said the display is made of triodes,
would it be possible to build a preamp or distortion unit with one? Have
you tried that yet?

Later,
