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 :)

Your integrated amp does not have to be on. Just play the CD player on continuous repeat using a CD that has a full range of sound. The PAD Burn-In disc works nicely for this, and there are other similar discs available.

What CD player did you end up with?

It's called the Purist Audio System Enhancer Rev.B, and there are dealers on Audiogon who offer it for sale. They also show up discounted and used from time to time.

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

No, I meant what CD player did Warrenh buy to replace the Audio Aero Prima he just sold. I know he's been shopping for a replacement.

Essentialaudio's offer sounds like the way to go, IMO. You'll put get more quality break-in in less time using a cable burner like the MOBIE or Audiodharma.
