What is wrong with my system?

Hi everyone -

I’m posting here because individually I think my components are all good, but together my system is not making music, rather is is making bright bass less noise. Honestly, I’m thinking it’s no one component, but the matching of components that is causing this issue. I would like to get everyone’s opinion as to what I’m hearing. My components are as follows:

B&W 802D (first generation diamond)
Audioquest bi-wired Indigo speaker cables

Classe CAM-200 monoblock amplifiers
Audioquest Water XLR interconnect

Bryston BP26 preamp
Audioquest Water XLR interconnect

Mark Levinson 5100 cd player (PCM slow minimum phase)

thanks in advance.

What power conditioning and noise control are you using.  Dedicated lines for your amps, pre amp and digital gear will add life.
Separate power conditioners for your pre amp and digital gear will help with noise.
Keeping all SMPS's off your AC lines for your gear is essential.
I have found PS Noise Harvesters very helpful.  I have almost a dozen.
