Phono Cable Breakin

Looking for a little help here.

I have a new phono cable coming in and given I only listen to my main stereo only an hour or 2 a day, it will take months for the cable to get to it's recommended break-in time.

So, can I just hook it up to my TV, which runs a good 12 hours a day or my garage stereo which I can run longer without using the tube life on my main stereo?

If I can do the TV, I can hit the recommend time in a week.

I don't know if I believe in break-in time, but I do like removing all doubts,

Thanks

Stay off audio forums, and simply enjoy your system.

I use the Isotek/Esoteric, burn in enhancer CD on all my new cables for at least 100 hours.  Very effective.

OK, got my cable in, put 60 hours on them via a comb o of TV and garage stereo.

Listened last night, sounded wonderful.

Not sure if it did anything, or If could even hear it, but was able to sit back and just enjoy instead of listening for something that may or may not be there.

Was worth the piece of mind.

Thanks all
