All about audio and the technical stuff. Unless someone here can tell me, I am trying to find out what exactly drum bass levels do in an amp as far as sound quality and the benefits...what to set it at for music, movies, etc. And what dry signal level is and does and what to set it at.

thx

It's personal taste and what your equipment can handle. 20Hz is about as low as the human ear can hear, many sub-woofers/ bass speakers struggle to get that low.
A site I use is www.stereophile.com See if you can find some answers there. :)

What's this piece of equipment you're tweaking?
"dry signal" it's just signal that hasn't been processed and modified. As pitwipe stated, 20Hz is about the audible limit for bass, and you have to have a decent set of ears to hear that even. Most commercial recordings don't have much below 50-60Hz, unless you listen to heavy footed pipe organ or bass oriented synth.

There are some CDs available called "Illegal Bass" or something like that, that claim to have frequencies as low as 5Hz, but a warning on the label says it could damage your equipment. Probably just marketing hype, since I doubt most amps/recievers would even process such low freqs.

Well, the 35 part means this year's. But I have never seen a 7 series.

You sure it's not AVR7300? or AVR635?
