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?

Yep, the first time I heard Avantgarde Duos at the US distributor's place - rest of system included Audiopax 88s, DcS digital stack and a Viva preamp (cannot recall the model). I had him play the live version of "Little Wing" from Hendrix In The West, and it was so moving that I teared up...this in front of a guy I'd just met less than an hour before. Amazing. That's what this hobby is all about.
