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:)

Why do some of the reviews I see have statements like
"(the manufacturer) suggests 300 hours break in before critical listening."
I think in home audtions of equipment may not be as available as we all would like, and everything will sound different in the store, and you read these reviews on line taht sound so hot- then you get one home and it is " jeez this doesnt sound right- maybe it's the equipment, no its my speakers, no the amp, no the room acoustics are bad...." so Maybe the product manufacturers want to make sure the buyers give time for the psychoacoustic adaptation to take place so everyone doesnt go running back to their dealer with a return before the usual 30 day limit is up
