Any system ever moved you emotionally like this?

Below is a recent quote from the LA Times from a concert violinist after he had played a violin made by the late 1600's master, Antonio Stradivari.

"After I played the Mendelssohn Concerto on it, I cried like a baby," McHugh recalled. It was "smooth, as sweet as could be. . . . It was something I had a love affair with."

Ever been moved to tears by a system? If so, what song was playing and what comprised the system?

No system has ever brought me to tears, but "It Never Entered My Mind" off of Miles Davis "Workin'" does every time, even if I hear it on the car radio. I must not be an audiophile.

Sarah Brightman, IL MIO CUORE VA, which is My Heart Will Go On, from Titanic. The first few times I listened, I got the chills. Halfway through the song, after the interlude, she changes her voice to her opera voice, and that's the chills. Course I'm a sucker for sopranos and powerful melodies. Wadia 850 direct to Mesa Baron, speakers home grown, Scan Speak drivers. Very interesting thread, Mitch!

I can't remember what I was litening to, but when I heard a pop, the music stopped, and smoke came out of my amp - that brought a tear to my eye.

On a serious note, these songs always strike a chord
