Replacement adapter for 5b/254m arrived and finally I'm able to compare 254a with 254m. They are almost the same tonally but not in physical size. Surprisingly 254m has slightly less gain than 254a. Unsurprisingly 254m sound slightly thinner and 254a sound slightly fuller. The jury's still out on which I like better but both are in my books dynamites. Drum beats have that intensity and female vocals have that tantalisingly sweet sharp shrill. Mark Knopfler's guitar solos will mesmerise you with both power tubes.
