I am by no way experienced at this but some Google searching provided me with multiple results all about the same.

What I dont know is if there is any benefit to passing the incoming audio through a preamp or other stereo equipment before going onto the PC and Audacity software.

I would assume? there may be slight advantage playing back the tape on a "Nice" audio cassette deck

I have not used Audacity but I presume there is a way to clean up the "hiss" of cassettes within it, or other software.

here are some links that i liked from my search results.
