PSVANE ART TII 12AU7-S / ECC82 Vacuum Tube
Balanced low-gain tube for line stages, DAC outputs, headphone amps, and integrated designs
Screened before shipping - Secure packaging - Global shipping
Description
The PSVANE ART TII 12AU7-S / ECC82 is built for stable, balanced small-signal duties where tone, texture, and low fatigue matter more than maximum gain. It suits line stages, DAC output circuits, headphone amplifiers, and integrated amplifiers that need body without losing clarity.
ECC82 / 12AU7 replacement notes
- ECC82 and 12AU7 are the same medium-gain dual-triode family, often used in line stages, buffers, headphone amplifiers, and driver positions.
- This family is not a gain-equivalent replacement for ECC83 / 12AX7 or ECC81 / 12AT7.
- Common compatible labels may include 5814 or CV4003 when the amplifier supports that path.
Before ordering ECC82 tubes
- Use matched pairs for stereo line-stage and headphone amplifier positions.
- Replace by circuit position rather than by glass shape; several nine-pin tubes look similar.
- Confirm whether your amplifier wants a single tube, pair, or larger set before checkout.
Compatibility
Use in ECC82 / 12AU7 / 5814 positions in compatible preamps, DAC output stages, integrated amplifiers, and headphone amplifiers. Confirm circuit requirements before replacing related but non-identical tube types.
Sound Signature
Balanced and smooth with rounded presence, controlled treble, and enough low-level resolution to preserve room cues and image focus.
Testing & Matching
Screened for steady parameters and low-noise use before shipment. Matched pairs are recommended for stereo line-stage and headphone amplifier applications.
Shipping & Warranty
Warranty
90-day warranty against manufacturing defects. DOA coverage included.
View warranty policy ->Buying questions
Is ECC82 the same as 12AU7?
Yes. ECC82 and 12AU7 are names for the same tube family. The amplifier position should still be checked before ordering.
Can ECC82 replace ECC83?
Usually no. ECC82 has lower gain and different operating behavior, so it should only be used where the amplifier maker approves it.
Where is ECC82 commonly used?
It is common in line stages, buffer stages, DAC outputs, headphone amplifiers, and selected driver positions.
