Help: Crackling from both speakers at certain frequency

I am getting a crackling from both speakers when music hits a certain frequency (in the high range, but not the highest). It doesn't seem to be effected by the volume I am playing it at. I have a 5 channel Rotel amp and a Rotel surround processor. I have only noticed it on cd players connected via analogue out, but I have swapped out the cd player and its interconnects and the problem remains. Any tips on what might be causing this? The fact that it is both channels, that it isn't the source, and that it is only this one little frequency of sound that crackles makes it very frustrating and hard to track down. I have tried various cds, and they all display this behavior provided the music contains this one frequency (Charlie Parker's saxaphone hitting higher notes does it every time).
