Hi Wayne, here everyone is doing it today. Lots of events, parades, fairs, concerts and fireworks. Indeed the sound of fireworks and anything similar is hard to capture. Think about the overture of 1812. Few recordings do anything worth a hoot. The best I have been able to hear is on a Command Stereo LP. Even then it is a bit compressed. Many cartridges can't even track it....funny to watch some of the cheaper one hop out of the grooves. I actually was pleasantly surprised that my Grado Sonata II in the Jelco 370 arm went through it fine particularly as it is the final track on the LP side. Anyhow, hope you and all the other members have a good 4th.
