LP Display Stand - Where to get ?

Posted by: shoot6x7 on 28 December 2010

I'm looking for some neat stands where you can prop up an LP to show off the sleeve while you're playing the record.

I may have seen such a thing in MilesSmiles (Oliver) system pics.

Anyone seen any around ?

Cheers,
Ron

Personally I just lean the LP sleeve against the front of the system rack or keep it on the sofa next to me. Smile

Seriously, try a websearch using LP display stand. Most of the items which come up seem to be for shop display. It would be very easy to make a suitable display stand yourself if you really want one - just square piece of MDF (or similar) with a hinged attachment at the rear to make it stand up, and a piece of quarter round beading attached to the front lower edge to stand the actual sleeve on.

A small / mini Easel should do the job. Available at most Art & Craft shops or a well known auction site. Comes in basic wood to ornate metal which might look better when it does not have an LP on it.

I got mine many years ago at Ikea, a few months ago I went back and they still had the wooden ones I have but had as well a more robust metal version of it.

Hope this helps.

Just put a 55cm Ikea Ribba on the wall for this very purpose. £4.99 - bargain.

Why not use a music stand (very apt methinks)all kinds available (a desktop stand with a light would look great).

Great idea Sniper, the folding 'U' shaped one looks pretty cool.

It may end up being easier to source. The town I live in has a couple of music stores, but the nearest IKEA is a 5 hour drive away.

Yeah, I've seen these frames at Acoustic Sounds.

My goal initially is to put three LPs on display on the floor between the speakers to hide the NACA5.

But six of these frames on the wall behind the speakers is an interesting idea ...
