Well I have a couple cables hooked up to a carousel player on repeat with 5 CDs loaded, with the output level at max (this player you can control the ouput level). I think I'll let it go 48 hours.

Can somebody who knows tell me, does it matter that the cables are just hanging off the back of the player? (just dangling, they are not attached to anything)

So the electrons are being run through the interconnect, which is all that is needed, right?

So, the cables are not driving (attached to) anything else - does it matter?

(sorry if this is dumb but the whole concept of break-in is kinda mysterious to me)
