Interconnect - Does short length hinder sound?

In my efforts to upgrade my Interconnects, I was planning to get the
.5 meter length...as this is all I need to reach each component.

In my conversation with several reputable audio stores, they told me that an excessive short length such as .5 Meter, will actually "hinder" the sound. They recommeded purchasing 1.0 - 1.5 Meters, as it allows the sound to travel more uniformly.

With all the knowledgable people on this forum, has anybody ever heard of this theory?

My Bryston B-60 has Pre-Outs & Main Ins that were originally connected by a little brass U-bar. I read lots of recommendations from people that suggested upgrading to Tara Labs RSC link...basically...about a 2-3 INCH interconnect.

If too short was not good for an analogue link...then I would assume that there would be fewer recommendations for this and more for upgrading the U-bars to full size (0.5m+) interconnects.

I have tried both the links and a pair of .5m ICs and have found no apparent difference. There was however a difference when upgrading from the stock Ubars.

just my 2c.
