Another Cable Burn-in Question


I've checked the archives and I'm still not certain about this. I want to burn-in a new ic cable between CD player and preamp. I set the CD player to repeat/play but does the preamp need to be turned on? I'd rather not leave my tubed pre on during burn-in if I don't have to.

in all of my points , it is obvious that i have mentioned that only one component is requiring an interface to the ac.
It's kind of comical: The originator of this thread stated that he'd resolved the issue, some 14 posts ago! =8^)
I did in fact see the threads writer solved his deal.

I'm simply enthralled with the notion that devices don't need to both be on for cables to be run in.

Seeing the mention of the active cable cooker also makes me think, then, it has to be otherwise.

Then too I thought about power cords. Both cables conduct. Both cables pass signals, one more narrow than the other of course and with far greater amplitude... when active.

Naturally then too, then came thoughts of speaker cables.

Doesn't it seem odd to anyone else that each of these cable types transmit signals yet only interconnects can run in without active components at either end of them being in use?

It just fascinates me. That's all.

how do cable makers feel about the notion of interconnects getting broken in using an active device on only one end of the cabling?
