Interconnect Break In?

I'm wondering about break in on a new interconnect (RCA's). I'm using it from my CD player / Streamer to my preamp. If the CD player is on and streaming but the preamp is off, does the interconnect still break in? 

If this has been answered and you can point me to that I'd appreciate it. I just didn't have any luck searching.

Thanks!

I’ve pursued high end audio for fifty years. I have spent hundreds of hours comparing high end audio interconnects, speaker wires and power cords. Breaking is substantial and not in your head. 150 to 200 hours is very typical. I find a couple components I can have on… both ends. I have an extra system that I can put in wires and break in… I always go for the highest power end… like if I have phono stage interconnects I’ll use between the preamp and amp to break in.
