Is there such a thing as an affordable stand alone CD recorder with which I
could transfer the cassettes (and even Reel-to-reel tapes I have in the same
room) to CD?
There are such devices, though unfortunately I know of none with a
built-in hard drive. They will even use 'silent' input to create track
splits, but those may be unreliable depending on the quality of your
source tape as well as its content.
I have a Philips of some years back, so I cannot suggest current makes
and models. It did its job well for me but has been out on loan for a
year or two.
Note that the consumer versions require that you use discs marked
"DigitalAudio" and usually sold as 'Music Discs'. They carry a premium
for royalty payments, but have the advantage of being designed to record
at 1x. That's necessary for your application but not common for low-cost
computer or 'Data' discs.
