***Well, pardon me for not ejaculating prematurely at the mere mention of these "serious stands".

nd I'm only a miserable peasant and haven't had the opportunities in life to experience the finer things

Did I somehow give people the idea that I think I'm cool because my mic stands are better than your mic stands?!? This is a forum where we are supposed to discuss gear (among other things) and I thought I'd pass along a recent discovery. I don't get why anyone would read anything more into the thread than that?????

I'm not the only one who has complained about Atlas stand quality, particularly when compared to stands from other industries. But at the same time, I can see 4 Atlas stands from where I'm sitting, and I'm in my apartment, not studio. When I need to stick a 57 in front of a Fender Princeton, an Atlas works fine. But there was no way I was gonna hang a huge Bottle mic on the end of a boom that I don't have total faith in. An "every day" stand works fine in "every day" situations, but some times you need a really high quality tool.

who woulda thought mic stands were controversial?
