I'm rigging up a burn in cable for my new tone arm (wires) which is just the cost of parts. I'll run some CDs through it. The Hagerman Fry-Baby (or whatever it is called) may be worth the two hundred bucks for cable burn in if it is an issue- (I don't own one so can't speak to whether it has shortcomings compared to the more expensive Cable Cooker, which seems to be the more popular choice among the cognoscenti).
I used to burn in power cables by connecting them to a power strip with an IEC connector and sticking a fan on one of the outlets to draw power.
I was never much for specialty burn in but just did it as the system played. With the tone arm wire, though, my thinking is that the low voltages normally produced by a cartridge will take forever.
FWIW, which may be very little.
