straightwire crescendo vs acoustic zen, cardas?

I auditioned some straightwire crescendo in my system this weekend. Very nice revealing cable

has anyone heard it against the acoustic zen cables?

I have cardas gold cross between pre and power and it is very revealing and neutral tonally. I want a balanced tonally accurate cable that isn't bright but is still revealing. this will be single ended between my dac and preamp (I am currently using HT Prosilway II, nice (balanced and neutral), but there is more revealing out there)

suggestions

thanks

I have tried both. Zen is a bit sterile and Cardas is bloated in my system. I currently use Pure Note which is superior to both brands IMO. Their site is: www.purenote.com

-Martin Logan ReQuests.
-Krell FPB 600.
-Krell KRC/Reference Phono.
-Sony SCD-1.
-Old VPI table, SME3009 arm, and various cartridges.
-All interconnects, Pure Note Epsilon Reference.
-Current speaker cables are Silversmith, soon to be Pure Note Epsilon Reference (perhaps).
