Reports

  • Test in Stereo 10/1997: Very good, 2 stars. "Sonically, however, the TA-6511 is pleasingly on top of things: voices come through smoothly and quiet passages with little noise, at least on chrome tape." (Stereo 10/1997, p.56)
  • Test in Audio 7/1998 (last comparison test for cassette decks): upper class, sound 65 points, 3 ears. Very good external voltage distances are praised. ""airy-structured, detailed sound images ... Attributes such as musically fine, nicely made, modernly equipped and easy to operate are right here. This makes the Onkyo an excellent choice." (Quote Audio 7/98, p.16)


  • Successor of the TA-6310, very similar equipped
  • Onkyo's second largest model 1996-99 after the TA-6711
  • Dolby S is shown as a lit LED on the front, not in the display
  • On the silver/aluminium front model the display is dark yellow, on the black unit it is mint green - analogous to the CD players, MD decks and tuners of the series.

In the Design fit as plant prima the CD players Onkyo DX-7211, Onkyo DX-7222, Onkyo DX-7511, Onkyo DX-7711 as well as the Minidisc recorders Onkyo MD-2321 and Onkyo MD-2511 as well as Onkyo MD-2521.
