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.

Phono inputs (MM or MC) are low level (several mVolts) while all other inputs and outputs from tuners, CD players are in the 100s of mVolts to volts. Connecting any of these to the phono input may over drive it and could (slight possibility)damage something or at least cause the circuitry to clip the signal levels. Unless you use a source that you can adjust the signal level down I would not recommend driving the phono input with any "line level" source.
