What is SQ mode?

does your SMVn2 not have SQ decoding?

its meant to be used on the old CBS system (Columbia/Epic, etc.) "SQ" matrix encoded Quad records but it does some cool things with some Stereo as well

Unmistakably Lou : Lou Rawls

here's one from Philadelphia International that was slated for SQ Quad LP release but by 1977 its chances were slim and ultimately it never made it.
mercifully the old WLP's nicely surround-y through Involve's gizmo (in Involve mode)

After Beefy's post about listening to Focus, in quad, it inspired me to try up-mixing them 'Live at the Rainbow.
Well I'm listening now and to my ears, the result isn't three bad.

Marillion - Script For A Jester's Tear
Finished up-mixing this album today.
The stereo version is very good and that's where this is from.
If little old me can get this result, then why can't the pro's?

I've a Project Phono Box S2 Ultra which is great. Although my Amp has a nice Phono pre-amp, tape monitor inputs are old fashioned so left off, so to use my SM2+Amp I had to get a Phono pre-amp! I reckon the S2 Ultra is better than the one in my Pioneer Amp, mind you its not cheap.
