Just brought home my new A21 and JC2. While burning in do I leave all components on while burning in and if I shut it off the power amp manually is that going to hurt it turning it on and off. I thought once its on you leave them powered up and dont touch.

If you want to burn them in quickly, leave them on all the time.
Otherwise, turn it off when not in use and save some energy.
I would say that the most important "rule" is to make sure the amp is completely warmed up (>30 min) before doing any critical listening...

Many folks use the Ayre/Cardas demag cd. The last track is about 285 seconds of a 5hz-20,000khz glide tone, just program the cd player for repeat, turn the volume down to low and let it go for a few days non-stop.

Personally I feel that a "normal use" break-in is better than using a test disk and leave it. In normal use you usually vary the volume a lot and use a lot of varying material. I'm not convinced it's a good idea to have the units run the same test tone over and over again at the same volume level.
When breaking in a car engine, you're supposed to vary the RPM the first 500 miles. I like the thought of adapting this and say that you need to vary the volume level and material the first few hundred hours...
