Many moons ago I purchased new as my first stereo a Lafayette LA 975 Integrated amplifier, along with a tuner and Dual tt. Fast forward to 2000, I gave this to my son still in mint condition as his first stereo, minus the tt. Long story short, he stored it in a shed in Fl and it was toast when I returned from Cal in 2012. Kind of a sad ending for a piece of gear that just trudged along for close to 4 decades.
So here we are in the present and I'm currently waiting on a......you guessed it a Lafayette LA 975 to replace my old friend. I have absolutely no use for it other than nostalgia reasons, was hoping someone here might have a copy of the owners manual.

Well, it's been here a couple of weeks but I just haven't had the time until today. Not a proper setup, but it was really only for testing purposes to leave eBay feedback. Picked up the little Canton sub a couple of days later so killing two birds with one stone.
When I gave my old Lafayette amp to my son it also included the matching tuner, the same Canton sub, and a pair of modified Optimus Pro X77's on stands I built.
Back to the sound, well it's as warm and liquid as I remember, but the little Pioneer elite player is showing its digitalness compared with my Sonys. The sub integrates very well with the Canton plus S sats it was designed to go with, no mystery there lol. Now that my son is older with a family I thought it would be great to give him this sweet little setup, might throw in the Pioneer too, (already gave him another awhile ago). Was thinking it would be nice for him to later gift it to his son, Martin III, a third generation first stereo.

I wish it was that easy.

The only thing I'm confused about is the fact that you mentioned the unit is toast,which I assume meant cosmetic condition in this case?
Here is a manual that you need that sold a three months back.

Read my post again, this is a different unit from the one my son trashed.
And yes I'm aware of the manual I need, again reading my post I purchased one "new" as my first stereo, it came with an owners manual. It's most likely at the same landfill my son's garbage men dumped the amp in.
I also saw the same manual recently sold on eBay. It was before the amplifier was listed so I wasn't looking at that time. Was hoping someone here might have one I could get copies of.

I'm glad you clarified it because I only saw the first post and I wasn't aware it was thrown away in a landfill as that wasn't mentioned. I just assumed the FLA heat destroyed it being in a shed. Try posting on DIY audio as someone may have one there.

I was going to add trying the Audiokarma guys but I saw you posted there a couple years ago. Still it might be worth a try.
Banned lol
Me too, it's a badge of honor!
I don't think Grumpy likes anyone that posts on the Audio Asylum.
