PSVANE ECC82 Replacement Tubes
12AU7-family tube for balanced line stages and headphone amps
PSVANE ECC82 / 12AU7 Replacement Tubes
Shop this category when your amplifier, DAC output stage, headphone amplifier, or line stage calls for ECC82, 12AU7, 5814, or another compatible 12AU7-family label. ECC82 and 12AU7 are the same medium-gain dual-triode family, so the order decision is about circuit role, quantity, and whether matching helps channel balance.
Choose PSVANE ECC82 / 12AU7 replacement tubes for compatible line stages, buffer stages, DAC outputs, headphone amplifiers, and driver positions. Use a matched pair when two tubes serve left and right channels or a balanced stage, and stay in the ECC82 / 12AU7 family unless the equipment maker approves another path.
Best fit
- Line-stage, buffer, driver, and headphone amplifier positions marked ECC82 or 12AU7.
- Systems where you want warmth and clarity without pushing the gain too high.
- Buyers comparing ART TII and AIR series choices within the same 12AU7 / ECC82 tube family.
Buying notes
- Matched pairs are recommended for left/right signal paths.
- Use the ECC82 / 12AU7 family when the equipment needs lower gain than an ECC83 / 12AX7 position and the manual confirms that tube family.
- If your amplifier uses several 12AU7 tubes, replace by position rather than guessing from appearance.
- ECC82, ECC83, and ECC81 share a similar physical format but do not share the same gain or circuit role.
If your current tube says 12AU7, ECC82, CV4003, or 5814, contact us with the model number so we can help check the replacement path.
ECC82 buying questions
Is ECC82 the same as 12AU7?
Yes. ECC82 and 12AU7 usually refer to the same medium-gain dual-triode family. Confirm the equipment position before ordering.
Should I buy an ECC82 matched pair?
A matched pair is recommended when two ECC82 / 12AU7 tubes serve left and right channels, paired line-stage positions, or balanced driver positions.
Can ECC82 replace ECC83?
Usually no. ECC82 / 12AU7 and ECC83 / 12AX7 have different gain and circuit behavior, so the amplifier maker must approve any substitution.
