What very basic items would I need to make sound out of this item? I mean cords, amps, etc. I have never owned one, and do not own an amplifier.

You need something that makes the actual sound, and something to connect this item to your sound producer. There are several ways to do this. The standard way is to get some sort of amplifier, and connect this to that with a 1/4" instrument cable. If you don't want to buy an amp, and you have a stereo that has RCA inputs (the red & white cables), you could connect this to that stereo with a 1/4" to RCA audio cable.

you will need a cord but I've been able to get it to work through my computer speakers, although, its not the best quality, you could also plug it straight into your computer and record it. Although if you want to hear full sound quality out of your theremin I would consider purchasing an amp.

Dude-ya need an amp. You also need a microphone stand that you can rig to mount the Theremin. You also need a cord to go from the Theremin to the amp. Fender makes 'em-and you can get 'em here. It is not plug in and play. Then the neighbor's cats are going to complain about the sound. The Theremin is more difficult to play than you think-it takes a while to get used to it. Ya' gonna have to practice the scales over and over until you get the hang of the thing. It ain't all space ships and horror movies. Get an amp and a cord.

Other than speakers/headphones, you need a sound generator. I use the Roland Sound Canvas - found here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003PAR7IA nice and portable with a good sound.

You don't need a amp for these. And I have no idea what to recommend if you want one.

I think you'll still need an amplifier. Im not familiar with that sound bar but I imagine it will not properly power these speakers.

You need an amp that has a phono pre-amp (phono puts out less output than digital so it needs to be boosted before it's amplified. And, of course, you'll need speakers.

That depends. It will probably be loud enough without an amp. But would you spend this much money for headphones unless sound quality was important to you? Uncompressed audio (or at least CDs) instead of MP3 and a fairly good to very good amp will improve the sound. Fiio, Schiit (yes that really is the name and it's made in the USA), Yulong, Matrix, Denon, Oppo, SMSL and other companies make amps in the $55 to $400 range. A DAC (built-in to the amp or separate) might also improve the sound.

Make sure all of your equipment is properly connected. Do not use a device that removes the ground on power cords. I had a computer power supply plugged in with a ground eliminating adapter and it created a lot of buzz. I set the volume, treble, and bass all to 12:00 on the speakers.

your going to need a amp hook up kit. I got the one off here for like 17 bucks and it had everything you need to hook this up. I got my hooked up in like 30 minutes going through firewall was only hard part. but still simple just took some time and careful planning.hope this helps

If I were you I would look for a good pair of PC speakers. Technically it is possible using an amp and converter cables. If you are using the computer as part of a music system setup then it maybe worth going this route.

You would need an amplifier and speakers. Or use headphones, since it has a headphone jack.

Jack would need to be size of portable cd player ,lap top, pad but will give you a pad (pillow) speaker ,not very long cord so TV would be up close and personal.My amp quit shortly after one nights use.Bought expensive battery, same story, now amp not putting out at all(2 weeks??) I did not try to return so cannot speak on how the vendor or amazon would have responded but I am splicing amp out to just have my pillow speaker to study my foreign language.

Plug directly in, it will sounds the same as anything else you plug into the RCA jacks of the amp. Just make sure you have the correct adaptor and it will sound awesome.

You need a pre-amp or a mixer to regulate the volume and EQ. If not your will end with lots of fedback noise and undesirable sound. A small mixer will do the job.

No, you got to buy a cord. Better yet buy a Peavey. This amp sucks, it is impossible to get a "clear: sound. There are many distortions and reverbs but not one clear channel available.

No. You need an external tool for that like a karaoke machine or a pc to hook into your amp. (which you also need if you don't have, these are just speakers.) I see these kind of questions a lot, and I'm surprised no one really tries to make more casual audio gear. Seems like there's a market for it and it'd be nice to get some new faces into the discussions other than the crazy audiophiles who want to compare 1100 dollar speakers to 90 dollar ones

I'm not sure what all you could or couldn't play with it, since mine was shipped to me snapped in half. mine did not come with an amp chord.

This is an extremely popular pedal, so nothing unusual is required. You need a standard guitar cable (1/4" male mono plug on both ends) to go from your guitar to the input jack on the pedal. And you need another cable of the same type to run the signal from the pedal's output jack to the input jack of your amplifier. Good quality cables about 15 feet in length typically cost about $20 each. You shouldn't buy cheap cables, but I don't see any need for anything more expensive than between $20 and $40.If you're talking about an AC adapter so that you won't need batteries, I suggest the One-Spot. About $35 and works great.Hope that helps. This is an extremely popular pedal, so nothing unusual is required.
