Njoe Tjoeb 4000 Upsampler
The upsampler does indeed take a very long time to break in.I also have the Njoe Tjoeb, when I first installed the upsampler I was very upset with the sound. After a very long wait (about 200 hrs) it started to sound real good.

Thanks for the help, I have narrowed down my selection to the Quad 11L and the Totem model 1. I think I will play around with the MMGs a little longer. Like Loose said, it might be the Parasound, so my next move is to go buy a better amp. If that ...
