What is the E182CC vacuum tube?

The E182CC (E182CC / 7119) is a triode vacuum tube designed for driver / preamp applications. SQ dual triode. High perveance..

What is a E182CC substitute or equivalent?

Direct equivalents to the E182CC include 7119, CV5766. These share the same pinout and operating envelope, so they can usually be swapped without circuit changes — though batch-to-batch variations between manufacturers (NOS vs current production) may shift the sonic character noticeably.

What are the key specifications of the E182CC?

Amplification factor μ ≈ 24, transconductance gm ≈ 15 mA/V, plate resistance rp ≈ 1.6 kΩ, max plate voltage 300 V, max plate dissipation 4.5 W, heater 6.3 V / 0.64 A.

Is the E182CC still in production?

Production status varies by year and manufacturer. The current Amperatubes catalog classifies the E182CC as Sought-after availability. NOS (new-old-stock) examples from RCA, Mullard, Tung-Sol, GE, Sylvania and Telefunken trade among collectors; modern production where it exists comes mostly from JJ Electronic, Electro-Harmonix, Tung-Sol (New Sensor), Genalex, and a handful of small-batch makers.

What does the E182CC sound like?

SQ dual triode. High perveance.. Sonic character also depends heavily on the circuit operating point, the surrounding tubes in the stage, and the output transformer when present — use the interactive loadline calculator on this page to explore the trade-offs.
