Creek 5350SE Ubar Replacement??

I just read (by accident)on Audioreview that replacing the "Ubars", which connects the Preamp and Amp parts of the 5350SE in the back, with quality interconnects (.5 meter XLO Type 1 wires??) will greatly improve the sound. Anybody have this type of experience with any type integrated and if so does it improve sound? Seems to make sense. Any recommendations?

Regards,

Matty

Matty, I have a Bryston B-60R and I tried using a 1m interconnect (VDH d-102) to replace the stock factory "Ubar" and I preferred the sound w/the factory
jumpers. However, everything is so system/listener dependent.

Mat,
I have a 5350SE. I replaced the jumpers with .5 meter Audioquest Quartz. The difference was not subtle. The amp sounds richer and fuller. I would recommend it.
I believe our systems are similiar. I have a 5350SE, CD43MK2, T43, and Epos M12s.
Cheers.

Try any interconnect (find one you like). The shorter the better.
