a simple yet stupid ? question


when breaking in amps, cables or speakers...does volume matter?

I suppose so in that it needs air to move. But what abt electrical equipment? Its the electrical current so volume shld not matter? I wonder if I can just turn the volume all the way down and keep amps playing overnight etc....
I break in amplifiers by running them with a 20Hz worble tone into teh speaker. This way the amplifier is having to do real work. Maybe it is just teh logic behind it but it sounds like it works to me. Who knows?
Volume matters on amps..to some extent. Keep in mind, if there is no preamp volume then the amps are functionally receiving a nil signal. Just my opinion but I believe it matters on solid state moreso than tubes.
