ok to break in phono preamp w/ non lp source?

I just got a brand new Vincent Pho-8 phono preamp. I would like to break it in using my Linn Classik since I can leave it on without changing records and my turntable is in the shop until next week (unexpected delay, sigh). Would it be ok to have my Linn Classik set on the tuner and use either the tape out or preamp out (set to low volume) running right to my Vincent phono preamp? Some people have spoke of reverse RIAA filters but hopefully that is not needed.

LOL, good one Marakanetz... except that many manufacturers will disclaim their warranty obligations to the extent damage was caused by owner abuse.

Putting a line-level signal into a phono input might be deemed as such. It certainly would not accord with the instructions provided with the unit.
