Brian,While I don't know if Mike Spaulding is 100% correct that "it's all in the bends", but if you really wanted to pre-stretch the string your could take some old pinblock(s), pound in a hitchpin, perhaps make some kind of bridge, drive a tuning pin in an appropriate tuning pin hole, and pull it up to tension. So .. if you really want to pre-stretch, make yourself a monochord.
