Nope. It's true that if you have some really good mics and speakers, using a
mic to pick up a speaker can be other than a total disaster.

Iain Churches claimed some good results in transcribing old 78s
using a microphone in front of a gramophone horn so the idea is
not entirely without merit.

There's good and there's good. Good enough to transcribe a 78 wouldn't
come close to even the cheapest and nastiest bit of vinyl.
