Nice find, do you also have the stereo version?
LLoyd,
Does your room with Stillpoint Apertures sound better than Wigmore Hall?
I will say this, I (naturally) asked my wife to sit down on the couch and listen to the Endellion Quartet playing the same piece that we had heard earlier live that evening. Given the fact that this is only four instruments, I think we both felt the system acquitted itself well...not live, but the scale was closer than I had expected (I had low expectations), and it was very nice to listen at a volume that was quite close to what we were hearing in the hall and NOT feel like [turn it down!] due to distortion.
I can honestly say that this much lower level of distortion has only come about since the Stillpoints Ultra 5s, the HRS M3/Nimbus Couplers, the Troy and the Stillpoints Apertures. And I have one fairly radical idea up my sleeve on further isolation that I have contacted Stillpoints about yesterday...stay tuned!
If you can source a stereo pressing, it's truly superb on all counts. They aren't that hard to come by and usually not too pricey, only difficulty is finding one in VG++ condition; most are in VG at best...which means lots of background noise

I was at our local Market the record seller there sets anything different aside for me . This time it was a 10 inch 33 and a half long play Decca DL 5560 Bill Haley and his Comets , Shake Rattle and Roll, other songs on it Happy Baby, Birth of the Boogie, Mambo Rock, Thirteen Women, Dim,Dim the Lights, A.B.C. Boogie and Rock Around the Clock.
My record washer does not do 10 inch so I dropped into Sound Stage Fine Audio bought more records and got Mark to wash the 10 inch on his machine. So while their on a 25 grand Brinkman and a Burmester phono . ayre pre and power to a 77,000 dollar Estelone speakers from Estonia we are playing a 1954 release 60 years later it is playing mono on a very nice stereo . Plays well sounds like a old recording but very good simpler times very upbeat songs the comets had a very good drummer. A cool way to spend a saturday morning.
In one song Happy Baby , Haley sings how the girl is Groovy I would not have thought that word was in use in 1954 I thought it was a late 60s word. Here is something I rarely get to say it was before my time.
