I'd like to thank everybody on- and off-list for their suggestions - a
pretty overwhelming endorsement of K&M.  I appreciate that.  In my
online research, it's hard to separate the chaff from the wheat....
reviews are all over the spectrum, as one can imagine. Real-world use
is much more useful to me than reviewers who have "had this for about
a week, and it's GREAT!" or "This is a piece of crap - it's no $400
Gretzweildlerschmitz mic stand!"

I found one of my existing 13-year-old stands that still had a little
bit of its label on it.... they are Atlas brand.  Although they didn't
get a lot of fierce abuse, they did last this long, so I guess one
could do worse.  But the new ones will be K&Ms.
