Should I buy the blue yeti or this? I'm getting started in YouTube tech videos and I'm kind of an audio noob. And I have to pay extra for this mic.

It's a great mic. However, I use it for instrument recording rather than vocals. The key thing with the MXL 990 condenser is it is not USB, requiring a xlr connector on a mixer or audio interface with phantom power. If you have these (and it's not a Behringer 502 or smaller which do not supply the required voltage for this mic) then I would strongly recommend the MXL. If you don't have this equipment then a USB yeti is probably a cheaper option.

Which arm would work with this out of the box, without the need for converting anything?

This reply is a bit late but it may help others. Get the RØDE PSA1, don't argue , don't go looking at the 15 quid specials, this mic is too heavy for them. I have tired both and the PSA1 is worth every penny. Not sponsored by RØDE or anyone else , just a customer like you.

what is the treading size on the bottom of the mic

A standard female nutrix connector

Can i use this on my desk using a desk stand? If so which desk stand would it use?

Hi any normal desk mic stand would be suitable the connection into the mic may need an adapter. Check eBay for a desk stand or Amazon.
