Conditioning/Burn-In Method

Now, to business.

I'm in the process of working in a set of Signal Cable Silver Resolution XLR interconnects between my DAC, Preamp and Amplifier. So far, I probably have only 20 hours or so of play, and if memory serves, Frank recommends 60 hours or more. Given the difference in amplitude from DAC to Preamp, and from Preamp to Amplifier, do you guys think it might be worth swapping them out (rotating them) to help balance and perhaps accelerate the process?

Thanks in advance!

I also wondered if any cable break-in takes place just leaving all the components turned on...especially with a tube CD player it seems there is always some current running through the cables...
thanks elizabeth, that been my experience, especially if I'm also playing a lot of CD's...I thought there were only tube  CD Players gdnrbob...

gdnrbob...there are also current model tube CD players...Aesthetix, PrimaLuna and others,  though certainly not a lot...
if it's free, I don't think it can be snake oil...either you hear a difference or you don't...and you are going to be listening to hundreds hours of music regardless...
