We’re learning all kinds of things about Conan O’Brien this year. He knows when to hold ’em. Knows when to fold ’em. Knows when to walk away — and when to go running into the arms of a basic cable network.</p><p>Sunday night, before he took the stage on the 23rd stop of his “Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television Tour,” I learned something else about the future TBS superstar: He’d rather play guitar with his late-night band than rehearse a sketch.</p><p>It was 5 p.m., three hours before show time, and O’Brien was on stage at Kansas City’s Midland theater doing a sound check. Twenty VIP ticketholders were seated in the first three rows, and O’Brien was giving them quite a show. Playing electric and acoustic guitar — and on one number, the drums — O’Brien and the old Max Weinberg Tonight Show Band powered through a 40-minute set of Dylan, the Band, jump blues, rockabilly and a spirited cover of Del Shannon’s “Runaway” that pushed O’Brien’s voice to its limit.</p><p>O’Brien has been playing since high school, but he honed his chops during his 17 years as a late-night host, mostly by abandoning his writers during rehearsals and sitting in with the band.</p><p>“The minute I start to have fun playing at rehearsal, they swarm in like vultures and say, ‘Nothing will be ready! No comedy piece will be prepared!’ ” O’Brien said as he worked through a dinner of ribs, beans and smoked sausage from Gates. “And then I will wander over to the band and we’ll start to play a song and really get into a groove. And then, suddenly, miraculously: ‘The piece is ready. Get your (bony Irish behind) back to the desk.’ ”</p><p>On Wednesday, TBS was to announce the premiere date for his show in its annual New York presentation to advertisers. (TBS recently announced it will build him a studio three miles from his old “Tonight Show” digs in Burbank.) Then, the “Legally Prohibited” tour continues for another sold-out month.</p><p>I spoke with O’Brien about his thoughts on moving to cable and what effect his coast-to-coast tour is having on his comedy. An edited transcript follows (for more, go to <a href="http://www.TVBarn.com" target="_blank">TVBarn.com</a>).</p><p><strong>Q: You’ve done shows in big theaters before; what’s the energy been like this time?</strong></p><p><strong>A:</strong> When we did the shows in Chicago and San Francisco, I thought, “It can’t get any better than that.” But this is even more fun. We went to Tulsa (the night before Kansas City). They stood and cheered for the entire monologue. It was crazy. And that makes me go further. After the show is over, I’ve sweated over all my clothes, and while everyone else goes to bed, I can’t get to sleep.</p><p>There’s part of doing television that’s conducting business. And there’s none of that here. No commercial breaks, no sitting down. And it can be anything I want it to be. And given the events of the last few months, it’s much more of a spectacle. </p><p>I don’t know if I’ll ever get to do anything like this again. But I’ve given up predicting. I realized the last time I was in Kansas City was 14 months ago to visit the affiliate for my dynastic new “Tonight Show” that was going to last 30 years. If you’d told me I’d be back in 14 months doing a rock ’n’ roll show with an inflatable bat that was sold out across the country, I would have said, “How is that possible?”</p><p><strong>One of the lesser-noted features of your TBS deal is that you get to go back to taping four shows a week, as you did in your pre-“Tonight Show” years.</strong></p><p>That extra day of production is huge. I love to do remotes. We still did them on “The Tonight Show,” but they were backbreaking. So here you get a little more quality control, a day of production to shoot and gather our wits. And it’s like we developed that muscle, doing five nights a week, so we drop down now, it’s like losing 10 pounds, because I like to use weightlifting analogies.</p><p>We’re in this age now where, if you make something that’s good, it can live on the Web. People shoot it around, talk about it. It’s less about raw quantity on television and more about quality. Plus, there’s more time to assign blame. That takes a lot of time, though I’m pretty good at doing that on the fly.</p><p><strong>You had such a whirlwind romance with TBS. Have you had time now to reflect on what you’ve gotten into?</strong></p><p>I’ve done the network thing. Done it for a long time. I was there at the greatest time to be at network. I’m ready to try this new direction. The sense I have from the people (at TBS) is, “We really love you and we just want you to do your thing.” It’s just nice to hear that. I feed off enthusiasm. It’s the same thing with these crowds. Enthusiasm is my drug of choice.</p><p>My experience is that young people have no loyalty to a network. They don’t even know what you’re talking about. No one I’ve talked to who’s 32 or younger is like that. They follow people, they follow shows they like. Who knows if two years, three years from now they’re even going to be watching TV? </p><p><strong>Are you thinking about what kind of show you want to do at TBS? Will it be different from “The Tonight Show”?</strong></p><p>The biggest question will be: beard or no beard?</p><p>When people ask what the TBS show will be like, I tell them I’ve gotta get there. We took some time out to research and find where we’re going to do it, but then I’ve gotta get into that space, get our people together, let it congeal. The biggest thing is, I’m always trying to do new things.</p><p>I would like to see how this tour influences the new show. I feel like throughout my career, I’ve been moving closer and closer to who I am with my writers in the writers’ room. I felt with “The Tonight Show” I was getting closer. And on the tour, with these really long monologues, the riffing with the crowd, is getting me the closest I’ve been in front people to the way I am with my writers and my brothers. I’m interested in doing that on TBS. I just want to keep moving in that direction. And then die.</p><p><hr class="infobox-hr-separator" /> <div class="infobox"> <strong><span class="infobox-head">What’s working for me ... </span></strong><br /> <strong>1. Season’s end. </strong>Finally, I get to start working down my DVR backlog. And I’ll bet you will, too.</p><p><strong>2. “Law & Order’s” end. </strong>Next Monday’s finale offers compelling proof of how uncompelling this warhorse has become. Goodbye to Van Buren and all the rest.</p><p><strong>3. Russell loses again on “Survivor.” </strong>I love how he claims there is “a flaw in the game” that keeps idiots like him from winning. Wasn’t he the guy who watched tape of every single “Survivor”? If anyone could work around that “flaw,” it’s him.</p><p><strong><span class="infobox-head">... and what’s not </span></strong><br /> <strong>1. Bum rush for ABC comedies. </strong>Of course I love “Modern Family” and am glad it’s coming back. But “Better off Ted” isn’t, and “Scrubs” is getting next to no sendoff after nine years.</p><p><strong>2. Another medical show from Shonda Rhimes. </strong>Shouldn’t she be required to fix “Private Practice” first?</p><p><strong>3. Fridays. </strong>Why do networks put brand-new shows on the notorious “night of death” anymore? Friday is the new Saturday — a night to park reruns and shows going to seed.</p><p></div>

Absolutely NOT! You will just get ripped off. Check out the article below from c|Net on the cheap vs expensive cables.
Heavy guage cables are important only for speakers that carry low bass (less than 100Hz). It also depends on how long the cable run is. You do not have to uses special speaker cable; electrical lamp cord will work just fine. The main reason to go for cables designed for speakers is that they are "polarized" (one of wlres is marked along the cable) so that you can maintain proper polarity when connecting speakers to the amp (red to red, black to black, eg). It is hard to tell without an ohmmeter which wire is connected to which unless the wires are marked. Go to your local hardware store or Home Depot. They have polarized speaker wire in various sizes. For main front speakers no more than 15ft from the amp. 16 guage is adequate. for a passive subwoofer, use 14 guage, or if the cable is longer than 15ft, use 12 guage (powered subs don't use speaker cable). For surround and center channel speakers, 16 guage is more than adequate at any length. Get the lowest cost cable that will do the job.
