Accordianist,

Just two small pieces of white tape cut in the shape of points. When they're aligned, it's perfect for the stand height and the top shelf.

I also mark the ends of all cables that have the same type and color connectors. Makes setting up a lot easier, especially when you're using a harness.

Scott,

Not a bit of hum, even at higher volume levels.

The keyboard stand is a Quic-Loc, but for the life of me I cannot remember the model. It was the heaviest double-braced stand they make and from the spec sheet, I think you could jack up a pick-up truck with it. If I recall, the stand weighs just over 25 pounds.

As for the mic, I use a headset mic, and while the quality of headset mics are not quite as high as handhelds, the advantages far outweigh the differences. I just ordered a new Samson wireless, which will permit more freedom than I already enjoy with the hard-wired headset.
Cheers,

Gary
