Hello,<BR>
Since you already have a tape deck, I would recommend a really decent $30 US solution that will work just fine for you. I have a review on my website if you're interested:<BR>

If you have a bigger budget, you can't go wrong with the USBPre (also reviewed on my website):<BR>

I hope it helps!<BR>
