Hi Ratbbb2
I've done similar to what you are thinking. your ideas are valid and have worked for me. I bought a Memorex CDP for $30 from Radioshack and rotated different CDs each day to break-in the ICs. I used various CDs ranging from test disks to classical music discs.
When I did some burn-in with a tuner I would connect the ICs from the tuner to a preamp and set the tuner on shuffle for 2 weeks straight. Where I am there are all sorts of stations that the tuner can pick up. From Jazz, Talk Radio, Classical, Hip Hop classic rock.
I got to break in the cables without going on the roller coaster ride.
