Since the SQ-W decoder seems to do a very good job
of decoding SQ sources, anyone know why CBS didn't
try to influence other manufacturers (the major Japanese
brands, for example) to use the Lafayette implementation
of an SQ decoder?
IMHO, if consumer SQ decoders had been standardized
(on the SQ-W, for example) early on, (including mixing
down through a consumer SQ decoder), it would have
been much easier to work around the limitations of SQ
encoding/decoding.
