sonic frontiers line 2 break in?

I need advice from anybody with experience breaking in a new sonic frontiers line 2 preamp. I just replaced my conrad johnson pfr solid state pre with this unit. All the reviews I have read regarding sfl2 describe it being clear, dynamic and with an open soundstage, well mine sounds like I am listening to the music with a head cold. Is there a possible problem with my unit or does it need more time or what? The cj sounded great but wasn't compatible with some of my components. Help

I have been leaving my whole system on for two days now, I don't leave the music playing when I am not home though. My system sounded great with the demo model cj it was sad to have to return it. I am hoping this sfl2 will open up.

Thanks for the ideas, I kept the cd player going while I was at work today on repeat mode and It is already opening up. I must say I was really bummed out when I first hooked it up but It is starting to sound like the unit I read about in the reviews, thanks goodness. I thought maybe I made a bad choice, it is such a hassle buying gear and having to return it or resell it, especially when you have high hopes of improvement. I have read alot about tube upgrades and the special edition versions come with nos tubes I can't wait to dabble it this area in the future.
