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 $300 (or $400) cold forged connections are 8 (or 12) total in a system of 1000s.. now, Cardas makes a great product.. for that section of a system, speaker cable, IC, PK.. you know you've got the top of the line. And i do admit that his products have a great sound.. certainly. I just.. I know all his winding machines and testing equipment and employees are expensive.. but $400? I mean you've already shelled out hundreds or thousands for his cables.. I know he could justify the cost to himself somehow, but it seems a little nutty to me.
