I hope break in is true


This is the first time I ever bought a brand new out of the box Preamp. No, wait. Second but, the other doesn't count.
I had made previous posts about my decision to downsize.
I have, everything is kinda good. You know, Okay.
I bought a pre here. great seller, great store. Couldn't have been smoother.
I am just not used to this type of stuff. I wanted something with a phono included. I kept it well under a $1000.00
Now, I got to ask you guys. Will this thing get better???/
I have not had to worry about break in before. Does it really exist?
It is a very well built unit. Remote, I'm not used to that! That's nice. Has everything I need. Except it isn't alive. The music is there, presented very nicely. Clean, no extra stuff. Just doesn't have any dimension.
Please tell me this is going to get better:)

While it has been true in my experience with high end conrad johnson components. I am sure, however, it varies from component to component and manufacturer to manufacturer. As someone suggested I would let it run for awhile and then give a listen.

I would suspect that lower cost components would not experience as significant a break-in period as more expensive pieces because of the lower quality parts used in manufacturing the piece.....but this is an opinion not a fact. In the end if the piece doesn't sound good to you your dealer should be able to help you out. Good Luck
