Heidana,
Thanks.I see now looking through the B77 manual that I will need to pick up a Audio generator and a audio millivolt meter.I have a digital multimeter,same thing?.

I should have read the service manual in the first place.There is a wealth of knowledge there.
I will need to pick up a calibration tape for most of the tests.
 Until then I'll keep the levels lower!.

Cheers,Rob.

Hi folks!
I'm relatively new to reel to reel.Been making a few tapes from vinyl with good sucssess.
Were I'm having issues is while recording.I monitor the vu meters and try to keep the peak levels around -6db.Each left/right vu meters have a overmodulation indicator and will flash red when the peaks are too high,so I try to keep it under that.When I playback the tape the levels are a fair bit higher with the lights flashing on the peaks.I guess I could just record at a lower level?
Can I adjust the meters or do I need test equipment for this?.
Also can I damage my tube amp or speakers by playing overmodulated tapes?.

Thanks for any help.
