"break-in" period? . . . how to

Maybe an easy question for you but need to ask: if I have a new product and want to pass the "break-in" period fast, I have to rum the unit (amp, preamp, or any other) 24/7 until the expected time passes but...if is a new preamp is it neccesary to connect it to an amp?, and if its an amp, must be connect it to the speakers? volume almost oof or higher?, what I dont know if the information must flow to the next step in the chain or just to be proceessed in the same unit? Silly question but not clear in my mind.
Thanks in advance.

The worst before item, I can remember was a pair of brand new silver speaker wires.It took 7 long 24/7 days before they sounded good.(Unlike Jaybo's experience)--There was just about zero bass for the first 3/4 days. Well I guess between the product and or the listner; it depends,huh??

These silvers are the Celtic Silver.---The thing I got the biggest kick out of was the maker states in his add;-- something like,needs no breakin. I emailed him my conclusions;but his mind was made up. While they had a 14 day trial---it was torture having to listen while I broke them in.---'Cause I know what my old cables(oval 9's) would sound like If, I switched back.
