Aha... I've been through that. I have 70's vintage cassette tapes that
I thought I would one day own in vinyl or CD format. The rarest
european works from that time have actually been reissued in CD.
The american works were plainly forgotten, and I've had to go
through the tape-to-soundcard (hiss)digitize process. Sigh...

Get a good cassette deck; I hope that your tapes were recorded
using Dolby C, or at least B. In either case, the high
freq response is already lost, but during playback/recording,
you might actually null out some high frq noise...

now, what kind of audio outputs does your system have? line level
or at least headphone level? Most sound cards accept line
level audio; if your system can't output line level audio,
you can build an easy T network for a headphone-to-line level
conversion for each channel that will preserve as much S/N
as possible..
