There are many who swear by crimped terminations over soldered terminations and probably as many who prefer soldered terminations. A crimped termination, sometimes called "cold welding" requires a special crimping tool. "Professional termination" ? That could be a termination performed by someone who charges ($) for crimping a termination as opposed to someone who does not charge for terminations, by definition, an amateur. I prefer terminating with hi silver content (8%) leadfree solder. The crimped termination must be performed so that the termination is "gas tight" (So tight that gas i.e. air, etc.) cannot penetrate the crimped termination in order to prevent corrosion from forming in the crimped joint. I highly recommend that you also investigate the Eichmann terminations. The Eichmanns have a high reputation for delivering superior sonics, especially their silver terminations (top of the line) which are far more econonimical than Nordost's $500/pop.

Happy Terminating !
