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?

It stands to reason the shortest signal path is better. Sound doesn't travel through the cable, electrons do.
With Silver Cables, when using a longer length...it allows the higher frequency to catch up with the lower frequency, thus presenting a more balanced sound.
As this dealer has wealth of knowledge and real insight, you need to ask him how the high frequencies got behind the lows. Also ask him what type of high frequency accelerator the silver cables use.
Geesh.
