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 can remove my KR KT88s and put in something way way less expensive, but why would some say that the integrated does not have to be on? So far this seems to be a coin toss? Also, does keep the volume down all the way keep the tubes just toasty? I'm a new tubeman. Don't have a clue.

Tvad, I'm talking about burning in ICs not a new cdp. I'm confused by your question..

Perhaps Tvad meant what ic's did you buy to replace your previous ones.
