Keeping an IC broken-in…is this a good idea?

Copper conductor (cable) do not need any brake in. Just for you, this is a common say of salesperson, when you buy a cable for a lot of $$$ and it sounds just as good (or bad) as your 5$ RadioShack cable. So to make you keep it and not return it, they invented the say: the cable needs a brake in.
Sorry for all the guys who think that this poor cable will sound better later.
I will not!
What is BI ( brake in) ?
Running current through that cable.
So why drive it at a line interconnect with an input impedance of 47k Ohms at 1V RMS (at 0.002 microamps) for 50 hrs, rather than drive it with 1A for 1 Sec.?
So you will know the answer (I’ve just told you) in a second, rather wait for weeks? No one has that good of a sound memory to say it sounds better after 2 month.

I second the idea of a cable cooker. I've used an Audiodharma Cable Cooker for years and I'm glad I purchased it.

Oldhvymec, thanks for the ideas.  My pre does not have a TapeIn only TapeOut.  That is why I thought of using an unused input.   Using a second system is a great idea for cables adn components!!

All Teo Audio cables are conditioned at the manufacturing point, by Teo Audio.

DO NOT use a cable cooker on Teo audio cables. Do. Not.

Liquid metal at room temperature is a wholly quantum beast(*). It is not wire. Wire...which would not be considered to be an overall quantum equation or situation.

Whereas a liquid metal most definitely is in the quantum camp.

After over 10 years of dealing with the mental fragmentation bombs being constantly thrown at Teo for saying what is scientifically obvious, it is nice to say such things... without being beaten down by the ignorant (via a few dozen to a seeming hundred hateful postings).

That.....is a huge sea change. Think about it. 

(*) Not quite wholly, but understanding the ins and outs of that, is, well.....)

I'm fascinated to hear more.  Please expand and go into detail.  Feel free to provide equations.
