How much does volume matter when breaking in amps and cables?

I'm not here to debate break-in. I generally leave new amps, components, and new cables playing low volume for a for long periods to start the break in process. Just curious how much does volume play a role in breaking in such. I get that speakers probably need pretty good amounts to push drivers, but what about other components?

If you want to do the same thing for no cost take a 12-24 volt AC wall wart, cut off the plug and go to it on your cables. Its going to do the same thing
...Sort of....

What happens in that case, is there ends up being an approximate 60hz-sh lumpiness to the sound, for about 100hrs. Typical break-in scenarios...
