Not bad at all! I think most people would be more than happy with a set-up like that.

Thanks :)  I still own the Teac, although it's not working. I wish I still had the Mac.
The system also included double Advents, and a Technics turntable with an SME Tonearm. Probably a Grado Cartridge. It did sound nice.

My tuner and pre-amp from Philips Laboratories series - still works and looks great - drives most headphones easily and sounds beautiful with Sextetts :)

 
To match them I bought recently Philips CD880 with CDM-1MK2 and TDA1541A-S1 onboard (sadly they weren't made in silver) - and am selling my Shanling CD now (I think it's enough for a review:)

I know this is an old thread but...
 
Realistic 2100D did not have toggle switches as the bottom receiver clearly does. It looks to be a Pioneer 1980, TOTL beastie.
 
Here's what the STA2100D looks like.
 

 
Also both the STA2000 and STA2100 series were built by Foster in California.

Actually the STA 2000 was built by NEC, the same company that built cash registers and computers for Radio Shack.  The STA 2100D was not built by Fosters...some speculation it was perhaps built by Samsung or possibly Toshiba in Korea.  Full of Sanyo and Sanken parts - also wiring is very colorfull in both units-something the Japanese in a company like Fosters - who were a speaker manufacturer and small electronics specality company-would have never gone for.  Not part of their ethics. But neither of these were built by Fosters.  Or Pioneer.
