Question on Cardas Frequency Sweep & burn in LP

Does anyone use this LP for breakin in cartridges ?
How long do you guys run in it the lock up mode ?
What is the difference between these tracks ?

Track 2. 20 locked grooves, lateral modulation (mono)

1/2” wide, unmodulated plateau

Track 3. 32 locked grooves, vertical modulation (out-of phase)

1/2” wide, unmodulated plateau

Track 4. 20 locked grooves, lateral modulation (mono)

Which track of the 3 is best for breakin in a cart ? or the tonearm wires ?

Thanks for the help,
nolitan

Any Lp should have a rest period before being replayed or the vinyl does not snap back, and damage to the Lp grooves will result. Tests done years ago showed two hours is sufficient for replay. Then (of course) folks think, be safe wait 4 hours, then wait a day.. so the story is two hours wait, with a lot of folks saying wait a day to replay vinyl.
Juust a heads up if you plan on running the Cardas over and over for days on end.
Perhaps the Cardas has magic vinyl.. immune to replay effects?
