Acoustic Zen vs. Nordost - wchich one to choose?

There is a lot of buzz about Acoustic Zen cables on the net.
Some say their Sliver & Matrix Reference interconnect cables and Satori & Hologram speaker cables are close to perfect. Some others compare them as not only similar to Nordost Quatrofill & SPM, but even better than these highly respected cables.

Do you have any expirience with AZ cables?
Do you really find them to be as good as the best cabless available, regardless of price?

It is an invitation to share the expirience about little known to the public cables from company called Acoustic Zen.

I find recommending cables to be almost pointless as their character can and often does change dramatically from system to system. That said, I've had shotgun Satoris, Matrix, and Silver Reference interconnects in my system and they have flushed out more detail and weight from the music while remaining perfectly balanced. I haven't heard Nordost in my system yet, but I was impressed by the systems I heard them in and I will try them at some point. They both have very low capacitance so I expect some positive similarities. Given their performance I think AZ cables are a relative bargain, but as with all cables they may or may not work well in any given system.
