Interconnect and Speaker Cable Burn In


I am attempting to burn in a pair of interconnects and speaker cables and after reading the forums have a question

Do I need a load at the other end of the cable - or can I just hook them up to a cd player or old receiver? Same for speaker cables - do I need to speakers or some load on the other end.

I am looking to burn in cables without 24/7 of music on or spending to much money ($50 or less would be great), as well as not put undue mileage on higher end gear (vs old receiver or cd player).

Any suggestions would be much appreciated - keep in mind that I am somewhat technically challenged.

Dpac996 - thanks for the info - any suggestions for the interconnects - what type of load device would I need.

Shadorne - thought is to use my squeezebox with a mix of all music I listen to on random - I can adjust "volume" at different times of day/night

Sugarbrie - I figured they would -but time is limited in which I can listen and want to make the most of it when I can - (read I am inpatient and want the best out of my system now)

Johngp, Ozzy, Jtwrace - thank you all for the offers - I may take you up on it, although I want to give the self break in a try - in hopes of learning as much for the fun of it

Timrhu - cables are not super nice (read not super expensive) sorry

All others - thanks for the advice and passing along of knowledge - LOVE the music - starting to get the technical side-
