Break in for ICs from CDP

Just refresh me guys. I know the cdp has to be playing and the ICs have to be hooked up to my integrated. I was told, however, my integrated need not be on. I believe that is the deal, but I have brain lock. Also, any tips for IC break in. The manufacturer says these babies will need 250 hours. They told me my integrated need not be on. Just want to check with my fellow audiophools....
thanks in advance, warren :)

I say buy the Ayre "Simple but Effacious" CD for like $20 and run your cdp. CDP's are meant to be used, yes? It will break that in too.

Be done with it!

PS - Wait until you have to break the mini digital in, it'll take forever as you know.

Jerry is breaking that baby in for me the past two weeks. This will be the first brand spanking new Audio Magic product that I can play right away. It will be good to go. I'm a little confused. Are you saying that the tuner will not do the job? Must be the cdp?

I just can't see how something that has no moving parts needs breakin. If you hear any differences, then your ears broke in. A car engine needs breakin, but cables?

Thommas that's another thread altogether. The breaking in thing has been beaten to death. Leave my thread alone...lol..

So as I read this thread I wonder why wouldn't I just buy a $39 cdp or bluray and play copy of the Vandersteen calibration disc or any set up disk. Another thought was to get a cheap used receiver with pre out/ power in and plug the ICs in that spot and let it burn while tuned in to a classical or hip hop station . Any thought on those Ideas?
