Tonearm wire burn-in question.

I have my ET2 arm wired with one continuous run of wire from cartridge clips all the way to the circuit board of my phono preamp; where it is hardwired. I just replaced the Discovery tonearm wire that I used for years with Audionote silver wire. It is an absolutely fabulous wire. AN claims it needs very little break-in, but I would like to burn it in anyway using a line level signal.

I would like to not have to dismantle and unsolder the existing wire arrangement.If I send a line level signal from the cartridge clip end of the wire to the preamp (turned off, of course!), will the wire get broken-in? Or does the device at the receiving end need to be active (turned on) for the burn-in to be effective?

Thanks to all
