  If HQ is a "gimmick", then it's a pretty good one as I've had VCR's with
  (Emerson VHS HI-FI Stereo VCR), and without (HITACHI VHS Stereo w/ Dolby
  and HQ) and the HQ DEFINITELY improves the picture quality by a factor of
  20. I am now able to buy 'regular grade' tape for recording and the
  results are superior to the recording done before on 'High Grade' tape
  without HQ. As far as Hi-Fi Stereo goes HiFi IS superior to normal stereo
  but only if you record music from a high quality source. I have Dolby NR
  with streeo now and I find the results more than pleasing. If I want 
  HIGH quality sound I listen to a disc.
