I think it would be helpful when dealing with a puzzle with shaded squares such as this one, that the shading shows when a word is active (blue). As is, you must go off the word to see the shading and then go back to work on the word.

I solved it, but have no *)&^% idea what was going on.

"Amp" is short for "amplifier". An amp is not a speaker, but it may contain one or more.

Clue 51A should have been "Parts of cassettes", not "Parts of cassette players"

Maybe I'm being too picky, but a dot doesn't complete "i". It does however complete "ı".

The end of a headphone cable is a plug. A jack is a receptacle for the plug in a device.

And another thing. I don't get "Sexy growl". I don't see how the answer phonetically sounds different from what a lion does. Wouldn't y be better in place of w?

Very clever and cute puzzle! Thanks!

My blood pressure would have been lower had I read 52 across first.

I've never heard "bop" defined as a catchy tune.

"They've really thrown down the gauntlet!" means "they've issued a true challenge". How does that correspond with the answer (which I guessed out of desperation and which I presume I'm not supposed to state here)?

To my knowledge, "nor" is not a Boolean operator.

I got it, but I don't get it.

For a few days now, the choice of left-handed in printing does not "stick" - I must re-enter it each morning. As of today, the left-handed print prints right-handed.

I like to print the left handed version of the puzzle. The setting for left handed doesn't stick anymore as of about a week. Can you fix it? Thanks.
