We are pleased to welcome Danny Kaey to the SonicFlare blogging team. Unlike myself, Danny has legitimate audiophile credentials as a reviewer over at audio publication Positive Feedback Online. Power conditioning, acoustic treating, cable swapping -- this guy knows the depths of the audiophile disease.

But don't think Danny is a head-in-sand audio geek. Rather, he's one of the cooler characters in audio, championing the iPod back when other audiophiles were predicting it wouldn't last a year. He is also on the cutting-edge of HDD servers and the whole digital audio revolution, believing the death of the shiny disc is at hand.

Welcome, Danny, we're glad to have you.
