How to burn in new WBTs on a phono stage?


Hi
I replaced all connectors on my CJ EV1 phono stage with WBT Nextgen RCAs.How can i burn in the solder and new connectors without actually playing records.I don't have enough time right now for doing it traditional way and wanted to know if i can load the phono stage inputs with some other kinds of signal.Will plugging in tuner do some damage to a 47kohm preset input.Thank you in advance for your replies.

Hi Slava: use Albert's cliplead method, but build in your own voltage divider network to prevent overdriving the phono stage inputs.
Divide the typical (tuner or CDP) ~1 volt line-output level down to ~100mV via a 10:1 ladder resistor divider. Use resistance values of 10K-ohm + 1k-ohm in series. Fabricate your connecting wiring such that the whole 11k terminates across the (tuner or CDP) output signal from + to shield. Then tap your divided network output voltage across the 1k resistor only, this signal driving your phono stage input. The grounds are common to both input & output signal.
If this doesn't make sense, drop me an email & I'll explain it via phone call, or send you a fax sketch of the circuit; it's actually quite simple.
ok then for the CDP - he's asking about a tuner though...
Sorry Albert I obviously didn't follow your hyperlink; thanks for pointing that out as others may be interested :-)
best rgds, bb
