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:)

Rf how translates "yet the obvious TRANSITION of burning in gear ELUDES THE EAR"
I take this to mean , why or how can expensive gear need a breakin period.
And why do some equipment need a breakin and others not?
Makes no sense to me.

Yeah, it would sound cooky to my ears "oh yeah my Seas' tweet has just gotten better now after 3 months"
duh

Stacked Advents... Maybe you need to audition another speaker. You must be holding back the performance of your electronics quite a bit... Try some used Vandersteen 1Cs or 2CE sigs. Great sound for the money...

Break in time rolls class D amps through huge changes in sound.

Amazing how manufacturers figured out how to make components sound better after they break in. It must be true, since no one actually says, I broke my amp in and now it sounds bad, I think I'll take it back. Wait, oops, it's too late, the dealer won't take it back now. Get the picture? In terms of speaker break in, it takes just a few minutes to break the drivers in according to some articles I found. Just do a search on that topic.
