I can't see how just leaving the tuner on but not have the amp running will break in the cable. It will not be performing any function will it?
interconnect burn in via tuner?
If I connect a new interconnect that will be used for a cd player between a tuner and integrated amp and keep both powered up continually for the recommended time will this be sufficient? Another question is, what if the tuner is on but the integrated is in standby? And lastly, if it is essential to power the amp instead of standby, does the volume need to be at an audible level?
