Hi Keith,
In addition to all the above good advice,the way to extract the best sound from a cassette is to use a deck that lets you adjust the azimuth of the playback head.




*All* decks have a head azimuth alignment adjustment screw. At least all that are any good do.

Easy to tweak one, get the right sized jeweler's screwdriver, first *demagnetize* it, then while the cassette is playing back *in the center of the tape travel, not from either end* adjust that screw in either diretion while listening to the high frequency content. Sometimes helps to boost the treble control of your listening system temporarily so that you can hear this. Point where there is most treble content heard is the best place to leave the adjustment.
