Hey guys,
Thanks for all of the responses ! I didn't receive an email re: my post (should have double checked) and and have since made the order! I decided to go with these items:
Shure mic stand: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/113773-REG/Shure_S15A_S15A_Microphone_Stand.html
I've had one of those since I started taping in 2000. It's served me well, and goes up wicked high when needed. One warning, though: be careful when lowering it. I've left skin at some shows because it came down fast on a finger. Looks like you have a nice setup, though! Early on I really wanted C1000's, but I never got them. I've heard good and bad out about them, but every recording I've heard made with them has sounded great.
I use a Marantz PMD660, and to keep it off the floor, I looped a string through the doodads where a strap would go, and hang that on the knob for the stand's legs. Clamping it, I would think, would make it susceptible to breaking if someone brushed up against it. I thought about, but decided against it.
If you don't have windscreens for your mics, there's a dude in the Yard Sale who makes "Dead Muppet" windscreens. I bought a pair and have been very happy with them. Welcome to the hobby!
