Phono to pre cable swap

I replaced Nordost Valhalla 1 with Nordost Odin 1; phono stage to preamp.  With the Odin,  the sound is fuller and more lifelike.   Problem is, featured instruments sound muffled and distant compared to the rest of the melody.  What happened??

Phono - Boulder 2008
Pre - Boulder 2010
Cartridge - Ortofon Anna
Tonearm - Durand Talea

Thanks in advance,

"Muffled and distant." That sure doesn't sound "fuller and more lifelike to me." 
How did it sound when compared with Synergistic Research? They all sound fuller and more lifelike. But never muffled and distant.
