Power Cord Burn-In


I know, I know...this has been posted before but I swear I searched the archives and couldn't find what I was looking for so here's my question:
Just purchased a new pc for my cdp.
Can I burn this cord in without turning up the volume( family factor) and can I leave my preamp and amp off during this process. In other words, can I simply throw a disc in my cdp and press play/repeat and let the music play with no volume?
Thanks!

Okay, I was a sceptic at first about burning in IC cables, and also speaker cables. I guess I began to accept that there is some aligning of the copper or silver grains that made me somewhat agree that there is a material change in the process. Is there a sonic difference? I don't know. I think that maybe our brains may make us believe there is after time.
But, burning in a power cable? No, I can't go with this one.
120volts in, is a 120volts in. It should make no sonic difference in the sound of our components.
What could possibly happen? The grains become aligned and give us better power? Give us cleaner power? Nope, I can't believe it.
Sorry, Scott
Okay, Dr. what is your theory on this cable break in falicy?
I have never heard any cable break in. I do hear differences among various cables. But I have never heard changes during the so called break in period.
I would love to do a blind-folded A/B test with someone with there broken in and not broken in cables.
Gosh, let me think about that just 1 minute. No kids, no mortgage and no debt. I don't know what I would do!
Most certainly the best stereo I could find. Enjoy it while you can. My oldest daughter is going into 10th grade. And my youngest is going into 8th grade. I have 15 years left on my mortgage.
I guess that is why I am using signal cable power cables :)
Flex. I agree with you to some extent. But, a "power cable" changing the sound of a component after it breaks in?
You guys must have money to burn. I suppose you drive one of those special Chevy Tahoe's they call HUMMER.
This is one of those " My stereo is better than your stereo" situations.
Give me one shred of evidence that this theory exsists.
Thanks, This is fun:)
