If the preamp killed your reception, then yes, something about it is likely defective.

It is easy to get excited by periods of good reception. Several days of good reception are generally needed to confirm the quality of your installation. Improved reception due to tropospheric ducting last for hours or sometimes days. See

This is not likely to have any ill effects.
