Best rock song of all times
"Roll with the changes" REO Speedwagon 
Your ONE all time favorite love song?

North Carolina Audio Club
I'm in Hickory and have gone to the Charlotte meeting before when time allows. 
ML390S directly into JC-1's
Not famliar with the ARC but, the 390S is one of the best CD players period! It's a very neutral unit and well built. 
Power Amp for Hyperion 938
Channel Islands D100 or D200s. I know these aren't tubed but, you should give them a try on those Hyperions. You wont regret it!

Best power amp below US $ 20.000,00 ??
