Basic for most of you:
Is the plate voltage in a SET amp. with 300B etc. measured between the plate and ground or plate and cathode (excl. cathode resistor)? I always thought the last is correct, but some written sources has made me confused. Many pitfalls when building from scratch, this must be done right. Thank you!

You are right, from plate to cathode.
In fixed bias, the cathode is ground.
