"Burn-In" quietly?


If a person wanted to burn in a pre AND an amp at the same time, but didn't want to put up with listening to a CD on repeat forever, could you disconnect your speaker cables from the amp and then run a CD on repeat?

Stevecham, well put my friend! I don't think it's old school at all to suggest the journey should be savored. For example when I pack up the motorhome for a trip, getting there is most of the fun. Anyway my system is on most of the time, even when I'm not in the listening room for background music. You right, it shouldn't be turned into a chore.
I'm undoubtedly going to feel foolish for 30 seconds or so for asking this question...but rather than disconnecting the speakers.....why not just turn the volume down?
Fishboat, I thought of this but then I assumed (maybe wrongly?) that the amp isn't working very hard at a low volume, thus extending the burn in process. Am I wrong?
