Listening to Phono Preamp Burn in Disc?


I have read a lot of posts regarding using a CD burn in disc (e.g. Granite Audio's) to burn in phono preamps. I get that, but I'm puzzled when people who do this complain about having to listening to the disc, as the sounds are not pleasant and repeat ad nauseam. My question is, why listen? Can't one just leave the amplifier off (assuming non-integrated amp), and still achieve the same burn in results? Also, if the amp needs to be on, couldn't a suitable resistor be used to substitute for speakers?

Thanks,

Good question Duddley. I have owned that disc for many years now, and used it a few times, yet I have never heard it. I have always had the amp off when using it. Maybe someday I'll have to listen to it to hear how bad it sounds. ;^)
