If you are using RCA cables, get a cheap CD/DVD player for such burn in. Also, ISOTEK makes a terrific burn in disc.

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.
