phono preamp break-in machine

Buying a new phono pre- amp. My dealer says there is a machine that receives a cd signal that is playing a break-in disc. This signal is fed into the phone preamp and "brakes" it in. This method by-passes playing hundreds and hundreds of hours of vinly on ones turntable. Dealer can not remember the name of this machine. Anyone know the source where I can purchase such a machine if it exists? Thanks for your help.

Gee thanks! I think I get it. Just plug in my cd player interconnects into the phono preamp and play away, correct?

They come from Haiti, witch doctor included. Another one of the great myth's of audio.

Yes, you get it. The CD puts out a very low-level signal so as not to overload the phono stage. Reversed RIAA equalization too, though I wonder why that matters.

"This method by-passes playing hundreds and hundreds of hours of vinly on ones turntable." Why is this a problem? Isn't that why you have a turntable?
