RE: What tubes are you using in your Audible Illusions M3a?

Rick,
If you're a handy DIY'r, you might consider changing the cathode resistors to 270ohms (Rat Shack is fine). Change the cathode bypass caps to 220uf (cerafines are wonderful).
Then go to ebay and buy whatever tubes in the 6dj8/6922/7308 family you desire...no more tube eater. Your plate voltage will now be 90Vdc +-, which is what Amperex recommends for 10,000hrs of use.
Hope this helps.
Mitch
