A question about cable break-in


I have some new ICs and speaker cables, as well as a preamp that need to be broken in. I want to let the system run for about two weeks non-stop, but don't want to have to listen to it like that. If I disconnect the speaker cables from the speakers and leave a cd running so that the signal still goes through the system, can I still achieve break-in?
Thanks for your comments.

Dave 1117, I have this question in many different ways in these pages, flippantly, seriously, tongue-in-cheek, etc.. Never got an answer. I think that this may be a reductio ad absurdum, but I think this line of reasoning is a valid way of showing that burnin, while maybe a valid concern on a theoritical level, (more so probably when dealing with transducers since they have a whole mechanical side to them), is, for all practical purposes, a non-issue best left in the hands of the insecure. From the margins of audiophilia, good day.
If we don't understand, or can't explain a phenomenon, it doesn't exist? Is that what you are saying Pbb? With that sort of thinking I am sure our understanding of the physical world around us would never have progressed past what stone age man knew. Pbb, would you pass me that rock?
so it is; we agree, disagree; explain, can't explain:

It's all good.

Now for a serious question. Just tried something new that I am half happy with and half I'm not sure. Please see my post on new cardas golden ref.

Thanks and in all seriousness, HAVE A GREAT NIGHT!!!
In our journey through the Universe, we delve into AUDIO, part of the unexplained. Maxgain, do you seriously think that everything is a mystery wrapped in an enigma? Do you serioulsly think that puttering around with cables and anything audio and opining willy nilly based on conjecture, wonky premises, uncontrolled observations, and idle chatter with other audiophiles is what got us to this point? Yes there are many, many things not even dreamt of in our philosophy, electrical current is not one of them. Does not mean every piece of equipment sounds the same, simply means subjective audio is a parlour game.
I HAVE learned something from this post.

I have gone through and read many of Pbb's posts and have come to the realization that once he arrives at a thread it will digress into a quagmire of naysayers nonsense and thus becomes pointless to continue on.

What got us to this point is people who kept an open mind. I'm done here! I will watch out for your posts Pbb and I will avoid those threads like the plague.
