Has anyone got to the point where a combination of a great system and recording will drive you to tears while listening?

I have gotten goosebumps while listening to audio systems. Tears of joy have only come to me from listening to live music. Will
Oh, yeah... tears of joy, as well as tears of frustration. Playing Glory for Tomorrow from Patrick O'Hearn's River Goanna Rise CD can bring tears to my eyes. I've come to expect the frustration, but the moments when everything clicks makes the trials all worthwhile.
Music has been described by some as "emotion". Must be true, because late at night when all is quiet, when everything's 'right' listening can truly evoke emotion in our house. Sometimes goosebumps on the back on the neck, yes even tears on occasion. Just can't believe it sounds so great; sometimes I'm thinking "is this for real?". Virtually transports you into another world. And yes, the frustration part we can all relate to as well, no doubt...
After reading the responses thusfar Im glad im not the only one...there are those moments when everything is just right. I some ways it is better than being there live as I can feel free to become involved with the emotion and impact of the music in the privacy of my own listening room. Ive spent countless hours tweeking, buying and selling fixing troubleshooting...then those moments arrive when it is just so right...
