Paul, the piece you were playing had me jumping in my seat, snapping my fingers, and damn it sounds good even though there's a loss of quality by the time it reaches this iMac.
At first, I wasn't aware of what you found, but unfolding news in this thread - very cool. Glad you're going to use it and keep it as is. NICE catch!
And to comment on the stereo vs. mono: I grew up like some of you other young guys, in the 50's and 60's. By the time we got stereo, mom and dad had alot of 78rpm(sadly gone to I know not where) and many mono recordings. I didn't really crave center stage, but enjoyed the music. There's plenty of interesting stereo recordings, but to be honest, I don't really crave stereo either. That said, if the recording is fine enough, stereo or mono, it's easy to enjoy if the recording is good and the music written is great. I don't remember if Stanley Kubrick's 2001 A Space Odyssey was in stereo when I viewed it as a premiere showing at the Cinerama Theatre(now torn down, an old opera house formerly)but the sound was great, along with that unique curved screen(in 1967).
