Interconnects can be burned in quietly. Don't turn on the amp, but turn on the CD player, and the wire from the CD to the preamp will burn in.
Interconnect and Speaker Cable Burn In
I am attempting to burn in a pair of interconnects and speaker cables and after reading the forums have a question
Do I need a load at the other end of the cable - or can I just hook them up to a cd player or old receiver? Same for speaker cables - do I need to speakers or some load on the other end.
I am looking to burn in cables without 24/7 of music on or spending to much money ($50 or less would be great), as well as not put undue mileage on higher end gear (vs old receiver or cd player).
Any suggestions would be much appreciated - keep in mind that I am somewhat technically challenged.
