Do you have a Nordost dealer with a Vidar close by? If so maybe for a small fee they will burn them in for you. Besides pushing current through them it also varies a bunch of different frequencies too. I've had my dealer burn in new cables and it may take 2 - 4 days running 24/7.

Now, to business.
I'm in the process of working in a set of Signal Cable Silver Resolution XLR interconnects between my DAC, Preamp and Amplifier. So far, I probably have only 20 hours or so of play, and if memory serves, Frank recommends 60 hours or more. Given the difference in amplitude from DAC to Preamp, and from Preamp to Amplifier, do you guys think it might be worth swapping them out (rotating them) to help balance and perhaps accelerate the process?
Thanks in advance!
