Creek 5350 "U" bars

I posted the same question not too long ago. Yes, the Tara Labs Missing Link, and Audioquest also makes one based on their Python IC. Audio Advisor sells the Audioquest. the Tara is available from Saturday Audio Exchange, 773-935-HIFI. About $35.

Take it one step further and eliminate the U bars and connectors by direct soldering a jumper across the two circuit boards. You can always replace the parts if you'd like to use the amp or pre seperately in the future or for resale purposes.

Mbhcid, soldering is not the best solution even sonically, especially if you want to use this amp as power amp or preamp only later-on.

Pure Silver Sound has some nice all-silver ones. They don't seem to have a photo of them on their site anymore, but here's the info:

It nevers seems to amaze me what little tweaks I learn about on Audiogon. I read this thread recently, and decided what the heck, give the Missing Link a try. My Creek 5350SE has about 60 hours with the Missing Link installed, and the results have been rather surprising. You can hear each of the instruments more precisely and their position is more pinpointed in the soundstage. The amount of air in Diana Krall's "When I Look in your Eyes" is noticebly better. I think my biggest surprise was the degree of decay I heard of the chimes in the song "New York Minute" on the Eagles "Hell Freezes Over" (XRCD Version) This is definitely a keeper tweak.
