Alas I got e (obviously) but couldn’t for the life of me get tailer. Tried commerce, sales and numerous other variations.

Still I got parsec

I too liked 5d. But my favorite clue was 21d, which maybe should have pleased Bamberger too, requiring for a change some science rather than classics education!

I gave up with 22a and 26a left to do. Like Lenny, I had never heard NOUMENAL or E-TAILER before. Or KRIS.

If this had been my first blog I would have been having kittens. It’s definitely an order of difficulty above the normal FT fare. Noumenal and E-tailer were new to me. In fact I was surprised to find E-tailer in my 2003 edition of Chambers. Strangely, my last in was Spot, which I guessed on the first run-through while remaining unconvinced by the definition.

19a Even with n?u?e?a? and letters l,m,n,o to fit in and the certainty that it had ot be nou, I still couldn’t get it.
Kicking self for not spotting 14d was an anagram as that would have helped with SW misery.
Terrific blog -thanks

Belatedly, I see that we agree.

This was quite challenging but in the online version (at least)24d was shown as 2,3 whereas, in my view, it should have been 1,1,3.

Also thanks to Phssthpok.
