Good upgrade. Your ears are fine. The cables will take time to break in, but the tiny voltage from a phono will never properly break in a cable. This is according to a major phono cable manufacturer. Here's what I do:You'll need an Ohm meter if the cable has a DIN. If so, insert wire jumpers in the DIN to connect the phono plug pins together and the grounds together. If your cables are just RCA-RCA, great. Now use the cables between a tuner or CD and your preamp and run them in for 200 hours or so.
This 2V (nominal) signal, which is 2000 times greater than the voltage from a (1mv) cartridge, will be MUCH more efficient at breaking in your cables. Put another way, it would take 49 YEARS using a phono cartridge non-stop to accomplish what you can get in 9 DAYS on a tuner or CD player. And you thought you'd never use math after high school!
Happy listening.
