307A

It would be incorrect to say I am "using it" - I picked up some 307As to run as the [pentode-wired] front-end of a Thorsten-inspired 300B amp [WE 91A semi-clone]; and that was the vast majority of my experimentation with it.

However, I also tried it in the output stage (triode-wired): 385 v B+ with 910 ohms in the cathode [B+ measured plate-to-ground]. I used the available 5.0 vac supply for the filament.
I was positively impressed by how good it sounded; however, I still preferred the 300B overall.

Pete Millett has the triode curves - see Josh K's post for a link.
