Darwinism goes a step further and suggests the process comes about by natural selection where small, inherited variations, or adaptations, provide an increased aptitude to successfully compete and thrive. So it is with the new Wilson Audio The WATT/Puppy, which celebrates its 50th anniversary after a near-15-year hiatus under that moniker. In this evolutionary transmutation, the latest WATT/Puppy embodies Wilson Audio’s entire current philosophies and peak technologies, once again, elevating the compelling concept.

NAD Masters M66 BluOS Streaming DAC-Preamplifier

I remember as a schoolboy hearing Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon at a Hi-Fi store played with, what seemed at the time, almost unfathomable power through a system which, I later learned, was NAD’s killer power amp of that era aptly named the ‘Powertracker’. It was many years later when I could begin treading the audiophile path, but that NAD experience was still firmly etched in my mind. The NAD Masters M66 BluOS Streaming DAC-Preamplifier arrived at my office in the morning, which seemed to make the day a little longer than usual as I was eager to get this baby home and hooked up for a listen.
