Default Distortion in CD player?

Hey, I recently have run into a couple similar problems. The first was
with a set of Klipsch Promedia 2.1 speakers. For the most part I got
clean sound from them, but on certain instruments, especially guitars,
some vocals, and harps (I listen to a lot of classical) there was
distortion. Volume had no effect on the distortion. I sent them in and
got them repaired under warranty. More recently a DVD player in the
videography department started giving us similar problems, only on
slightly different frequencies- vocals were affected the most. After
playing around with it I found that the 1 khz frequency band was the
main culprit.

Just from the bit of experience I've had with it, I'd say that the most
probable culprit is in the preamp stage of your system, or in the A/D
converters in the cd player.

Hope this helps!
