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.

Can someone recommend which tissues are best to use when wiping one's tears. I was gravitating towards Kleenex but was advised to use Scott, which supposedly is better with a tubed equipment.

You need that special Italian tissue paper made from the same trees that are used to make Stradivarius violins. (Only $4395 a Box)

Yes, but think of it as a very smart investment, as you can turn around and sell them for twice that after a single use. Just remember to mention that they've been "cry"-oed!

I suppose the "comedians" in this thread have never cried at a movie, either. For if they did, that would suggest that they have a greater emotional connection to the movies they watch.
Thus, for them, a tearjerker like Frank Capra's, "It's a Wonderful Life", would be more emotionally powerful that every piece of music ever recorded.

Actually Nietzschelover, now that you've mentioned it, I'll admit it, I did cry while watching Pee Wee's Big Adventure.
I guess I now realize that I am a bigger fan of movies than of song.

Cheers,

Nietzchelover, I would venture to say that most people on the planet have a greater emotional response to visual rather than auditory stimulus. I am one of the comedians and I have no problem stating that I have either shed a tear or held them back during an emnotional response to a movie. For me those emotional responses are linked to the human situation, such as love, forgiveness, sacrifice. That just doesn't happen when it comes to music, at least not for me!
