Before you say "use the Search button" or "try Google" let me explain. I am interested in designs of what Broskie calls "common cathode" as shown here

not just a plain grounded cathode stage which many also refer to as common cathode. It's very similar to the Rosenblits grounded grid minus 1 triode I guess. I think the terminology is tripping up my attempts to research. Any help appreciated.

What you have there is a "long tail pair" with the output taken from only one anode (if you took the output from both anodes, it would be a phase splitter).
I have never tried the (non-splitter) version of this circuit that you show; however, from memory, it's highly regarded by those who would know, presumably for its power supply rejection ratio (PSRR - posh way of saying low hum), low distortion and stable gain. It also gives a non-inverted output, unlike the more conventional common cathode amplifier, if that's important to you.
