I changed the components and didn't get what I wanted !!

I listen to a technics sl 1200 mkII with a oroton 2m black, I had my preamp upgraded by parts connexion, it's a perreaux SA3. I have lascalas as speakers (old!), and I like the generally mellow sound. My adcom 545 MKII was the amp and I upgraded ( Ithought) to a NOS aragon 8008B. The sound is edgier/harsher. It's in my basement which is currently in turmoil so the listenting environment is screwed up. My question is, do amps break in? will the sound change === this amp was basically new in the box? Would adding a different aftermarket power cord affect the sound. I am sure many have done this before, and by that I mean, spending $$ in hopes of improving the sound, but something just isn't as pleasant as it previously was. Any comments? Thanks Norm
