Use a CD player and amp to burn in things.

I know one manufacturer who used various burn in machines and claims that music is best for proper burn in. I personally use a CD on repeat directly into an amp and put the device under test on the output of the amp(could be any old receiver)and after the device under test put a load to ground (resistor). You can use a high powered resistor and measure the AC voltage across it and say have 5 or 10 watts of continuous music going through the capacitor or cable. If you use a very small cap, you can parallel it with a super big one so there is plenty of current draw and all frequencies would go through the cap. Every day or so you can change the type of music, so you get all flavors of burn in. Works great. One week of continuous high powered music will make a major difference and with very little cash out lay....except for some minor electricity (assuming you have a spare old amp and old reliable player).
