Wire break-in safe without speakers?

If you’re running an amp you need either the speakers or a dummy load. You can’t run it into thin air.

example on amazon…

Thats excellent advice from audphile1.

Are they directional? More BS IMO.

I understand that tube amp generally needs a load because of the output transformers but thought SS amps were ok without.

You are correct. But the cables will not "burn in" without a completed circuit–speakers or a load.

Ok this makes sense.  😎

Would the RCA cables break in just hanging off the playing CD player?

- No, has to have a completed and live circuit ...

I have looked at getting a cable cooker device for at least a couple decades… I alway have balked at the price. In retrospect, it would have been a great investment and saved an enormous amount of time. If you have a good system… it is probably worth it. 

If you contact "Luminator" over at the Audio Asylum forum, Lummy will condition your cord of cords with the Cable Cooker for a fee & return shipping.

Just listen to music, seriously why are you worried about this at all. 

You'll be glad to know that cable break-in is a total myth. Carry on!

I wouldn’t worry about it.  Just Hook the system up, let er rip and see what happens.  That’s how normal people do it.
