"for some reason, my tape recorder "eats" high frequencies."

Three possible problems:

1. Head alignment is ever-so-slightly off. Remember, cassettes are squeezing four tracks onto 1/8" wide tape. A tiny misalignment can make a big difference.

2. Dirty heads.

3. Bias is not right. Have you looked to make sure you're using the right setting for the tape? If the bias is actually off, you may be able to have someone tweak it.
