Phono Stage Burn-in

I just got a new Phono Stage, a Sim Audio LP 5.3, and was wondering what I can do to accelerate burning it in. I know there's a CD you can buy that will work properly for Phono burn-in, but don't really want to spend the dough on something I will only use maybe a few times in my life. Anyone know if there are any downloadable tracks suitable for breaking in a phono stage with a CD, or an alternative method that doesn't involve running my TT, or allows me to run it on a loop, since I'll be working a lot the next few weeks and not able to break it in by listening.

Thanks!

The answer is yes, but you still need the RIAA curve to play through a phono stage. Thus, Hagerman's product.

If you don't want to spend any money, and it certainly isn't needed here, just spin records while you learn about how the sound changes during breakin.
