Another Cable Burn-in Question


I've checked the archives and I'm still not certain about this. I want to burn-in a new ic cable between CD player and preamp. I set the CD player to repeat/play but does the preamp need to be turned on? I'd rather not leave my tubed pre on during burn-in if I don't have to.

Typically the answer is no as the input impedance is unchanged regardless if the preamp is on or off but it may vary by manufacturer. Another option is to use a tuner instead of CD player.
