Provided you have a CD player that uses the same connector (RCA or XLR) I suggest you put your cable there for break in. The phono stage produces almost no output unless you play an LP and allow the signal to pass through to the preamp.
CD players have adequate output and you can listen to the music as you break in, or allow it to build hours in silence. Either way it will get the job done.
