Is great sound possible through an on-board, MM phono stage?
Depends on your definition of "great", doesn't it ? In my world, the answer to your question is closer to a no than to a yes. In other words, you could give it a try.

Yeah, either pro JVC or Panasonic. I know, some people do it. 
what is the best cassette tape maker in your experience?
Yes, TDK MA-XG green is the best TDK and second best cassette ever available. The very best is Maxell Metal Vertex. Both for Nakamichi and Tandberg decks.

Anyone used pro SVHS VCR and SVHS tapes for audio only recordings, anyway ?chakster, did you get a cassette deck ? 
The stereo sounds fine, music is great, but Jeff Bezos came back to earth.
Maybe we should go too. And never return. This planet is on unstoppable fire.

stuartk, just one album - Visions Of The Emerald Beyond. It is almost like one composition.

Orpheus10, agreed. But I do like quite a number of what you post when it is not jazz, at least not traditional jazz. 
Jazz for aficionados
Orpheus10, that's fine with me. I used to like 'classical' jazz, but that was a long time ago. I still enjoy some compositions, not many.As for classical music, well, that's different, though McLaughlin says that in his view there are no barriers....

At their best Mahavishnu Orchestra were incomparable.This is the second Mahavishnu line-up, Rick wasn’t there but he might want to listen to it now..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owIXQz5AQv0&ab_channel=andrenavarroII

Orpheus10, I know the Getz/Byrd album. You are right - beautiful.And I have run into those musicians in Istanbul on youtube. I am not particularly impressed with her singing but I like the music, kind of Turkish/Greek/Gypsy fusion. Rhythmic and me...

Orpheus10, I am familiar with Otmar Liebert. New Age Spanish music.

I have Nakamichi 682ZX not Dragon, Orpheus10.Try Maxell MX-S with your Sony, in my experience it is best non-reference metal tape.How about Armenian singing ?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P87yuUQMZks&list=FLHAEL8Iwz684WaGFx1rQchA&index=2...

Orpheus10, life goes on ?Something nice, kind of perhaps nostalgic, in a sense..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KT44aQ_10XM&list=FLHAEL8Iwz684WaGFx1rQchA&index=1&ab_cha...
