phono stage break in?

Does anyone know if breaking in a phono stage is possible by running my tuner to the input of the phono stage? Is this a bad idea?

Thanks,
Rolloff

It is burned in real time, not stamped. It is a full 72 min of computer generated sequences (not exactly "tracks") which "target" different types of electronic "parts" in the system (resistors, capacitors, IC chips, voice coils, etc.) -- at least that's the description ;--) You are supposed to (initially) run it continuously through five cycles, and then after that two cycles for maintenance. I does make a difference, but I have to leave while it's playing. Even at what would be "normal" listening levels, it makes me nuts. It would make a great weapon, or maybe to clear out a bar at closing time ;--) .

First time since all the new gear went in. It does seem that there was a lot of grundge before. Now the voices and instruments are just that much more defined. The notes at both extremes are also cleaner.
