What is stereo?




There are now two system of high fidelity, monophonic (monaural) and stereophonic. Monophonic is a system that starts from one microphone and is fed through a single high fidelity set. Stereophonic is a double system. Two separate microphones are placed at different sides of the orchestra and two different systems are used to keep the two signals or channels separated. Two separate speakers are used, placed on different sides of you room. Stereo is much like 3-D photography, two slightly different sound reach your ears giving you a new dimension in sound.

Lafayette LR-3500


You won't and you can't
Because the LR-3500 is as good or better than any receiver around - including some that cost as much as half thousand dollars.
The top of the Lafayette line, the LR-3500 AM,FM and FM stereo receiver has all the features you've come to expect as the trappings of power. It'has state-of-the-art. Electronics, complete power controls to personalize the sound. 
The LR-3500 has more Continuous Power (RMS) than the Pioneer SX-737, Sony STR-7055, Sansui 771 and Kenwood KR-6400. Total Harmonic Distortion as low as the Pioneer and the Sansui. Better IHF FM Sensitivity than the Marantz 2250, the Sony, Sansui, Kenwood and Pioneer. And Capture Ratio that's better than the Sansui and equal to the Marantz and Kenwood.
Getting down to specifics, the LR-3500 puts out 47 Watts  per channel into 8 ohms from 20 - 20,000 Hz at no more  than 0,5% Total Harmonic Distortion. It has two tuning meters, two tape monitors, two stereo headphone output jacks, front panel tape output and mike inputs, FM MPX Phase Lock Loop Circuitry and loads of other features all packaged in a handsome walnut finish wood cabinet. And topped off with our 2 year free repair or replacement limited warranty on material and workmanship.
We know the Lafayette LR-3500 is a great $400 receiver because we've sold thousands of them at that price for years. But right now, it's an incredible $298 at your Lafaayette store.

It sounds too good to be true. But then, so does the LR-3500

  1. I own one, and after 45 years it still works and sounds perfect! Would never trade it for a present day receiver. It has a warm, amost tubular quality sound.

  2. I recently came into the possession of one from ‘76. It’s absolutely pristine, not a mark or blemish on it. Super warm sound. Love it!
