Hello! I've been out of the home theater loop for a while and I'm a little fuzzy on some of the new technology that is out, so I'm in need of a little assistance in picking out a new receiver for the small, budget setup Im putting together. Here's what Ive chosen (tentatively) so far: TV...

Anyone have any recommendations when it comes to cabling? I'm probably gonna need about 30 feet for each surround. Also, do most use power conditioners or simple surge suppressors?

Right now, he has a (i believe) 32" Flat Screen tube TV but has said she wants to upgrade to either Plasma or DLP.

Hi everyone, I used to frequent this forum a while back when I was creating my own home theater system, but have since found less and less time to come read about all the new stuff out there. Now, however, my sister has aksed me to put together a home theater system for here in the price range...

I hear ya. I'm 21 (almost 22), about to graduate from college and I have never had a full beer or any alcoholic drink. Why? For the same reason. I think it tastes like garbage and it DOES turn decent people into arses. I am the youngest of 6 kids, and all my older siblings drink - 2 of...

Well, I've done some serious looking on the internet now with all your suggestions. I think I will be going with an acoustic guitar and not an acoustic/electric only because I could really never see myself using the electric... I've researched a lot of different models and I seem to like...

Thanks for all the comments! Thus far, the only experience I have with different guitars is the Fender acoustic/electric guitar a friend of mine has (well, besides the other cheapy I'm borrowing). I thought it sounded pretty good and was thinking about going with an acoustic/electric myself...

and Wal Mart owns them all...;)

Ooooooook.... I've played trumpet for about the last 12 ywars of my life. But now that I'm not able to play with a group anymore, I don;t find it as enjoyable. It's not the type of instrument I find easy to just break out and play... So, I've been trying my hand at guitar. Only problem is...
