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:)

I am reluctant to give info about the pre I am talking about. I would not want to disrespect the dealer. He was wonderfull about the whole purchase. He has nothing to do with the unit I purchased.
My thought is "it is what it is"
Might even be the amp. I will do some work with it this weekend. It's a Audible Illusions S120 that I just picked up on ebay.

I think I feel comfortable saying that it is a Musical Fidelity product. I have not had any experience with any of their products before.

Thats odd. I have not heard that nor experienced that. "To me" It is one non-fatiuging amp. Sounds great.
Every review I read has been positive. Thats why it is to each his own. Peace

After some more listening last night, I have come to the conclusion that first I need to get these stacked Advents of the floor a little bit. I need to come up with a system to decouple them from the floor.
I believe that is complicating the sound a bit. I will repost.

Trust me, there are more than a dozen:) I have had $5,000 amps. Don't need um anymore. I got HEMI to play with. This amp for $200 keeps me happy. Enjoy!!

Hey guess what. I have left it on for over a week now and it sounds better. Thanks for everything :)
I certainly wasn't looking for a debate. I was complaining the pre wasn't what I expected. I was somewhat sarcastic when I posted I hope break in is true. Please, I have been here at AG longer than most. I am one of the old timers. Every now and then I will get sarcastic. Sorry

You have to give that company tons of credit for going through that process. I wasn't aware of that.

The discs are speaker related. They aren't doing anything to the electronics.
