Hi Duster,

Have a question. I am using a cd player without volume control now. Have it connected to a passive preamp. From the passive preamp to a pair of monoblocks. Therefore, there are 2 interconnects in use in this configuration. Where shall I place the target interconnect that I want to break in? From cd player to passive preamp? Or from passive preamp to monoblocks?

Should I still set the cd player at continuous playback with the preamp at full volume (with monoblocks turned off of course)?

Thanks!

You are correct.

Where the interconnects are positioned in the signal path should not matter as long as the volume control of the passive preamplifier is turned all the way up (with the power amplifiers turned off). The important thing is to provide a high output signal while the interconnect cables are connected to the load provided by the power amplifier input circuitry, of which will function the same regardless of whether or not the power amplifiers are turned on or off.
