At the very least you're going to need a mic preamp to get a line-
level signal from a microphone.  But for my money, I'd buy a small 
mixer -- a number of manufacturers make them for less than $100 -- and 
run lines out from the mixer to the aux inputs of the stereo.  I have 
this setup at home.  Then you can run mics, guitars, keyboards, amp 
lines out, whatever you want (including CD players, casette tape 
decks, etc.) into the mixer, and pipe that into the home stereo.
