Zoomer needs help navigating 50's-80's Hi-Fi equipment
You can use the Kenwood KR-5600 as a platform to test almost everything you have. First thing to do is make sure the Kenwood receiver still in working condition. Then you can connect the cassette deck to its TAPE A or B IN/OUT to test if the cass... 
My Luxman Integrated has AC Inlet Envy
I bought a cheap replacement inlet but it’s not yet in the Luxman. I just bought it to test fit my cables and it seems to do a lot better than what’s in the Luxman both electrically and mechanically. Seems like replace the inlet in your Luxman ... 
My Luxman Integrated has AC Inlet Envy
It seems many who reply are missing the part about SHORT CONTACT DISTANCE. The inlet on your L-507UX is a C18 (2 prongs), the pin height should be 12mm. A C14 inlet is 3 prongs, the two pins height are 12mm and the ground pin is 15mm. Have you...

Boulder does it right no standard IEC. Another good AC connector is Neutrik powerCON, too bad no home HiFi use it.  
Dummy Speaker Load
It's not just breaking in the CD player, it's treating all the electronics and cabling. Moving the speakers and reversing polarity is not the best option for me.  So if all I need is a resistor like oddiofyl and carlsbad mention, then I'm good. ... 
My Luxman Integrated has AC Inlet Envy
I bought a cheap replacement inlet and it just feels so much better. Meaning, I can feel the plug grip the pins much earlier, and they all grip much better. Yes, change the IEC C-14 is the best option!👍 I found some photos online the Luxman ... 
Dummy Speaker Load
I’ve read about disconnecting your speakers while running a break-in or demagnetizing or such CD, and in their place putting some kind of resistor across the speaker leads. Just so you don’t have to worry about possibly loud volume for an hour wh...
