All this knowledge of music and electronics and all this experience of live music performances combined in one great guy. My friend Doug you have the best way to approach high end audio. Really proud to be your friend and really honoured that our products have a place on your system.

Doug sounds like an honest guy and the kind of person I’d like to give my business to. I hope he’s still in business because I noticed this video was posted a long time ago.

Doug doesn't just make these statements, he lives them. High credibility is a treasured attribute not often found.

Thanks to John Atkinson for getting the word out on the true music lover, engineering expert, and honorable businessman who runs The Voice That Is.

Disclosure: I am proud to be able to say that through Bricasti Design, Doug White's The Voice That Is was one of my first dealers for Esperanto Audio digital cables.

Doug seems dedicated and truthful, but the other guy, well what a joke.
