With respect that means only 20 hours of burn in. Just switching it on won't burn it in. You need to actually play music (or other signal) through it.

Sorry I was not clear. The burn in time was playing music through the cd player into headphones.
Then it is almost certainly still not burn in time for the output to your pre-amp/integrated amp because it is usual practice for the line drivers to be switched out when headphones are connected.To fully burn in the player as you have indicated you would have had to have been playing the headphones and pre-amp/integrated amp simultaneously- if that is actually possible with the design. As I say, usually it is not.
NB: In Marantz designs the headphone ouput is not normally an attenuated line signal as sent to the output sockets but is generated by a separate discrete ampifier.

Thank you for clarifying regarding this.
I had a PL2 integrated for a while.I left the outputs alone and focused on the input/driver tubes.The older Shuguang 12ax7s (G8/G9) and the Mazda "Cifte French" military 12au7s were a great combo and never over emphasizing the treble.Upscale Audio:$45/eaJust a thought.
