phono preamp break-in machine


Buying a new phono pre- amp. My dealer says there is a machine that receives a cd signal that is playing a break-in disc. This signal is fed into the phone preamp and "brakes" it in. This method by-passes playing hundreds and hundreds of hours of vinly on ones turntable. Dealer can not remember the name of this machine. Anyone know the source where I can purchase such a machine if it exists? Thanks for your help.

Tfkaudio: The disc being played doesn't change the output voltage of the CD player
Of course it does. The output voltage changes continuously in proportion to the instantaneous amplitude of the music, or in this case the test tones. If the tones are very low in level, the output voltage will be also.

That said, I strongly second Elizabeth's comments.
