One of the most impressive things I saw today were the traid-orbit stands. I was lucky enough to saunter over and have Herschel Blankenship (the owner) show me how they work and fit together and man, they are a solid, solid piece of equipment...and Herschel was a super nice guy! (And apparently co-founder of Schecter Guitars?)
For my little OD room, I could spend about $350 and have a fantastically robust and sturdy stand for my LDC and SDC...This would allow me to hang the 47 upside down...to get it up that high right now with the cheap stands I have is a little disconcerting. Another awesome feature with this system is the quick connect feature with the micro 1 and 2 systems. You can buy these, screw them on to all your mic shock mounts and changing mics literally takes 5 seconds. Snap them in like Snap tools. Fantastic. I want one - I was seriously impressed. This is something that I have skimped on for years, but man - no telling how much I've spent on shitty stands through the years...Not gonna skimp anymore.

Here's a pic of Herschel and the Tripad 2

Might have to grab a couple.

I have a small home studio and it's the only stand I need.

My old favorite was the three-section AKG made by K&M but it required a sandbag. Before that we made a three-section Atlas with an MS25 base out of parts from the two different stands. The T3 is heavy enough that it just sits where I put it.
