Tried changing CD players over the weekend ....

Well, I took the collective advice here, and tried out a different CD player this weekend.

I had initially been using a 1990 Technics player that I'd had for decades, sitting around unloved. Test disc was Eric Clapton's "Clapton" album from 2010, a well-recorded disc with a lot of acoustic instruments and old-tyme toons, plus his singing (which gets better with age).

I was hearing some raggedness in the upper mids especially on vocals.

Then I plugged in a 2005 JVC player from my main system. Raggedness cleaned right up! Much sweeter up top.

Okay, the CD player does make a difference. Thanks, gang. I'm off to go find a good one, used. (Gotta put the JVC back into the studio recording system for now.)
