What would you change?


I have a system consisting of an EAD Ultradisc as transport, a Benchmark DAC, an ARC LS-15 preamp, Gamut D200 amp and VR4jr speakers, and find I am hearing some "grunge", for a lack of a better word, in the leading edge of vocals. There seems to be an edge to the sound, not a sweetnes , and I am seeking some ideas of what I might change to rid the system of the sound.
I realize the description is a bit week, but all comments will be appreciated.

Specifically, it what I'm hearing related to the amp/preamp somehow, or something else. Hope this is posted in the appropriate category.
Brrgrr,
I notice that you also have a analog source. Does the "grunge" you described also appear when you play LP?
