What is the 7119 vacuum tube?

The 7119 (7119 / E182CC) is a triode vacuum tube designed for driver / preamp applications. Premium dual triode. 5687 family king..

What is a 7119 substitute or equivalent?

Direct equivalents to the 7119 include E182CC, 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 7119?

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 7119 still in production?

Production status varies by year and manufacturer. The current Amperatubes catalog classifies the 7119 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 7119 sound like?

Premium dual triode. 5687 family king.. 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.
