Cardas Cold Forging

Has anyone tried the new Cardas option to have their speaker cable and connectors cold forged, making for a solid connection with no "connective" points with solder, etc. Sounds good in theory for line transmission, but can you hear any difference? If so what? I'm using Cardas Golden Reference.

The engineers I used to work with said that the purposes of both solder and crimping are :

1)Mechanical connection

2)Exclusion of Oxygen, to prevent corrosion

They preferred crimping over soldering as more consistent and reliable.
