Hi Terry,
It's been my practice not to over think the process too much. Just play the stereo. If you wanted to off-tune the tuner to get hiss through it, you could wire the speakers out of phase from each other (only change the positive to negative leads on one speaker) and then, place them toe-to-toe. This will allow you to turn them up a little but being out of phase and looking at each other will cancell a great deal of the noise out (and volume). In this way, you could leave them running while you are out of the house and this will move them along in being burned-in. One thing on burned in Cardas cables, you don't really want to move them around once you break them in. Really. Here is a link to the Cardas webste where Mr.Cardas addresses the brun-in process. Check out the 9th paragraph down. Having dealt with Cardas cables for many years, I had heard about this early on. http://www.cardas.com/content.php?area=insights&content_id=12&pagestring=Cable+Break-In
Happy reading and good luck with your new cables!
