Break in for ICs from CDP


Just refresh me guys. I know the cdp has to be playing and the ICs have to be hooked up to my integrated. I was told, however, my integrated need not be on. I believe that is the deal, but I have brain lock. Also, any tips for IC break in. The manufacturer says these babies will need 250 hours. They told me my integrated need not be on. Just want to check with my fellow audiophools....
thanks in advance, warren :)

I don't see how a cable can break in with out sound from your speakers. Maybe I'm behind the times........
We're talking ICs, not speaker cable. No sound needed. speakers are not part of the equation.
What is the life expectancy of a CDP laser cell for someone to let it run for a whole 250 hours to "break in" a cable?!!!! you will notice a difference after 250 hours because your CDP will be about 1 yr older of average intended use. Make sure to send it for cleaning and adjustment (wait, no, then you won't notice the break in!!!). LOL!!!!!
