Power Cord Burn-In

I know, I know...this has been posted before but I swear I searched the archives and couldn't find what I was looking for so here's my question:
Just purchased a new pc for my cdp.
Can I burn this cord in without turning up the volume( family factor) and can I leave my preamp and amp off during this process. In other words, can I simply throw a disc in my cdp and press play/repeat and let the music play with no volume?
Thanks!

I'm a fridge/freezer guy. Apparently the motors make them a good choice for burn-in. If you get a couple of adapters you can even daisy-chain the PCs to do several at once.

I use one of those IEC to AC adapters that's already been mentioned & take the PC out to the garage & hook it to one of the fans I keep on 24/7 & let it run for a minimum 100 hrs.

You need lots of current to burn a power cord quickly. Per Crumps suggestion, I used my ice box (with adapter).

I needed to break in a power cord real fast once, so I hooked it up to my ex-girlfriend's Hitachi Magic Wand Personal Massager. I think she liked the Hitachi better than me, so it was no surprise the PC got burned in in record time!

It might work better to use a Refrigarator ,but if you do not have an adaptor then using a computer is the best to use I have found or anything that has big current draw.
