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.

I must be missing sojmething or electron flow theory has significantly changed in the recent past somehow.

Just how is the current/voltage being allowed to return to the source component if the downstream preamp is not powered up?

Simple. You just place the preamp below the source - that way the heavy bass can slide down the interconnects easily.
