Realistic sta 2000

Reviewed Jul 18th, by badvinyl. Highly underated receiver! I have recently had mine fully serviced top to bottom, along with my STA

As a kid, I used to hang visit the local Tandy store and marvel at all the wonderful array of electronics for sale. One of my favourite things was my Science Fair in-1 electronics kit , a Christmas present from my parents, purchased from Tandy Electronics. I had a small pair of Realistic speakers and lusted after the legendary Mach One speakers proudly on display at my local store, probably not far away from this old girl. Thanks to Norman and Ed, American readers who worked for Tandy Corporation, we have more information on this, though perhaps still no definitive answers. Norman told me that the STA was manufactured by Foster, a Japanese OEM who made speakers, radios and various other electronics for many companies back in the day.

As you may know, Realistic was the house brand of Radio Shack and was meant to compete with Pioneer, Kenwood, Sansui and other receivers at the time. Most of the Realistic receivers are well built and perform very well. Price wise they were very competitive with the other audio brands at the time. The styling of the STA is very nice and is reminiscent of the Pioneer models of the same era. The wood panels are walnut veneer which matches nicely with the silver face. As you can see it has a very large flywheel tuning knob and the other knobs and buttons are nicely laid out. It has dual calibrated power meters that show actual power output to the speakers as well as a dual function meter that shows both FM center tuning and AM signal strength. The unit really looks nice lit up. Many feel that the D is not as good sounding as the The lower left push button in the set of 8 buttons on the front of the receiver is a 20db volume attenuator on the STA but was changed to a Dolby button on the STAD. Realistic also added a small green light to the panel to indicate whether Dolby was activated or not. Realistic receivers have been slowly increasing in value as more and more people realize that their performance is very good. Some feel that the STA is a little heavy on the bass. Still, overall it is a very good value. Of course, the STA is probably the most desired Realistic receiver but it quite a bit more expensive.

The STA is in the setup in the living room. Should go another 20 - 25 years worry free. Excellent build quality. The Sta is super underrated power.

Sure was a beast at WPC and that Toroidal transformer. Hi Norman, thanks for the additional info and this makes sense. Hi there. The knobs and switches are very similar and the wooden side panels, meters and other styling cues in the faceplate are remarkably Pioneer-like. Thanks to everyone contributing. Similar threads. And sounds open and crisp on delicate musical passages , classical etc. Norman, do you deny deny the existence of Tandy Electronics in Japan and Korea?

My first stereo purchase what a sound. As a kid, I used to hang visit the local Tandy store and marvel at all the wonderful array of electronics for sale. Likewise, each moving element in the system.
