Power Cord Burn-In

I know, I know...this has been posted before but I swear I searched the archives and couldn't find what I was looking for so here's my question:
Just purchased a new pc for my cdp.
Can I burn this cord in without turning up the volume( family factor) and can I leave my preamp and amp off during this process. In other words, can I simply throw a disc in my cdp and press play/repeat and let the music play with no volume?
Thanks!

Scottht,

Maybe the power cord that you have tried did not needed burn in, but mine sure did.

Yes, it will burn it whether you hear the CD or not.

But, a better idea:
If your amp or preamp uses the same pc connector, it will burn in a lot faster plugged into them. Most cdp's draw very little current, while the other units will draw much more and thusly burn you pc in faster. (My cdp draws only about 35 watts, while my preamp draws 140 watts, and my amps at idle draw over 300 watts and playing loudly can draw thousands.)

FYI:

My present, and best, power cords are also silver.
