If your wife is going to have a PRO service do the transfers (and not you) then just buy a cheap "new" all-in-one player that will allow her to listen/sample the music (if it's not already available online).

Connect 78 rpm turntable to Vinnie Rossi L2i SE amp?
Hi, this is a very niche question and I'm wondering if anyone has advice: my wife, a filmmaker, needs to play some old 78 rpm records in order to decide which to digitize for a new project. The audio system is great -- built around a Vinnie Rossi L2i SE integrated amp -- but the setup is digital only and lacks a phono stage. The Vinnie Rossi stage costs $3500 and is supposed to be great but way out of her budget. I know we could opt for one of those suitcase record players from our childhoods but I'm hoping for a solution that's better quality and ideally can be run thru the audio system. I should add that I know nothing about turntables, so please be gentle!

Here is a link to a sizable online library of 78 recordings. Perhaps your wife can find/listen to some of the recordings there. I did not try the search function (just listened to a few), but assume that it works. If the 78's are early on through the 50's there really isn't a simple way the achieve "good" sonics from them @ home without addressing the phono preamp and the various EQ's used (along with the TT/cartridge). https://archive.org/details/georgeblood
