I have an AKG KM235 bar and need to attach this to my stand. Is this the best one to use, or is there something better?

^^^Anyone know if Guitar Center has these?
I think for the riser I am going to check out Guitar Center and find one of those 5/8 Female to 5/8 Male adapters. That should do the trick.
If you are running a light stand with 3/8 threading, and your AKG stereo bar is 5/8, then you have found what you need.

This is exactly what I use.
+T's to all for the help. I think I will make the order with B&H today. I didn't hear back from Dave at Micsupply. :P
BH is a great place.
They fill the order super quick.
Not sure what you're using for shocks but I use two of these for a riser.

I wonder what's happened to Dave. He use to answer calls and emails very quickly. Hmmm....

In all fairness, Dave just did reply to me and tell me to call him, but I jumped the gun today and did a B&H order.

I hope all is good w/ Dave because he is about as good a business guy as you want to deal with when buying gear.
