OK, I have a matched pair of ADK TL's arriving on 6/2, a D-8 and a 7-pin. I'm considering purchasing a V2 and a cheap A/D, or a UA-5, but I'm also open to any other pre suggestions. I'm wanting to tape several smaller shows in the next two weeks, and then I will be taping Bonnaroo. What will I need to mount the TL's to a stand? What size/model stand would y'all recommend getting? I'm sure I'm still leaving some things out, but any help that you can give me is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Will

The AKG bar referred to above is the KM 235 (http://www.atomicmary.com/browseproducts/KM2351-Stereo-Microphone-Bar.HTML)

I have found the KM 235 to do X/Y with the TLs, greater t-bar then I expected

for the money it seems that a modded ua-5 will give you the pre/adc combo you need in one easy package.
a v2 is nothing to shake a stick at however and there are several adc options for you. graham-patton adc-20, sony sbm-1, apogee ad-1000, benchmark ad2k+ to name a few. those are also listed in order of price from lowest to highest (used prices). keep in mind though if you go v2 > (choice of adc) you'll be spending at least twice what you'd pay for the ua-5. the drawback of the ua-5 is the lack of level meters and pretty blinking lights, but your d8 will show you levels.

Thanks for the help guys, I think I'm gonna go w/ the V2 and wait around for a used A/D.

V2/V3 compliments the TL's nicely. Just taped a whole bunch this weekend using the V3 with the TL's, liking this combo a lot. A modsbm-1 with the v2 I bet would sound nice.
For the money one of the moded ua-5's would be a good place to start.
mp-2 would be a good choice also....bet mp-2 with a modsbm-1 would sound nice with the TL's also.
