What are some good desk and tabletop mic stands? I don't necessarily need a boom now but a boom will be helpful. I mainly use ev635a and re16 right now but I want it to be able to hold heavier mics in the future.
I'm looking at:
K&M 23325 (looks good and K&M is solid) K&M 25995 (could be unstable but has a built in boom)
Audix STANDKD (quality unknown but looks like a tank)
Gator (looks lightweight but recommended to me)

I have this on my desk: On-Stage MS7920B it’s not as nice or as solid as a K&M. It’s been fine for light duty usage. Just don’t over tighten anything! I’ve had to fix a bunch of the on-stage stands in my gig bag. If you plan on swapping mics a lot maybe go for the K&M the threads are much nicer on the mic mount.

That looks a lot like the audix one. Which K&M would you go for? Circular heavy one or lightweight one with built in boom. I'll be taking the mic down regularly. |

I’ve owned the cheap On-Stage versions (~$15) of the K&M 23325 for years. There’s so few parts that can go bad on them, and the K&M is probably even more robust. You are just limited to its lack of flexibility with positioning.
I’ve used them with pencil mics, kick mics, and shock-mounted LDCs with no problem. The heights useable for desktop positions, combo amps, and workable in a pinch on kick drums.

I own a Gator Frameworks Boom GFWMICBCBM3000 and (2) Desktop telescoping GFWMIC0822
Solid and versatile for every use I’ve put them through. Even used the telescoping as a floor mic for stage use playing tenor saxophone.
Purchased mine B-Stock on the Gator website.

I’d go for one with a boom for adjustability, plus you can always take it off. And I agree with bikescene the on-stage has worked fine for me as an sm7b desk stand. |

Used the gator for years as desk mic. Just got another one to clamp to piano for piano vocal mic.
It is kinda light weight but never had any issues.
