Has anyone ever cried listening to your system

I have had quite a few people listen to my system and most are not moved. In fact a few said they liked their Bose set-up better. Well last week I had a buddy in town from Vegas and we listened to records all evening. When I put Eva Cassidy songbird on he starting weeping. Tears were coming down and I asked him if he was alright. He said he was so moved by the recording that he couldn't help crying.
Personally this has never happened to me. I wonder if other members have had the same experience.

having an emotional response when listening to music is a reaction to the music , not the sound quality of a stereo system. you can have the same reaction singing the music or listening to a table radio.

I have been actively listening to recorded music since I was 10. I have never been moved to tears until last year, and only twice, not balling, but tears were shed. Once was a Violin, the other was more lyrically based. I don't think you can have the same reaction listening to a table radio, you have to be able to feel the emotion in the music, and you have to have a system that is capable of amplifying that emotion. Or a really good table radio, whatever that is?

Yes...not not because of the system, because of the music...one the almost always gets me is Un Bel di from Madama Butterfly...

I little over a year ago my mom was diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumor. Shortly after we got the news I was listening to Mindy Smith's "Just One Moment More" from her debut album and lost it. I still have to skip that song whenever I play the CD otherwise the water works begin.

I don't like music enough to cry over it but once I almost cried when I saw a puff of smoke come out of my power amp.
