Audioquest Emerald generation 1

Audioquest emerald first generation is same constuction as first (copper) lapis. Its hard to distinguish of another (2.) version emerald and the name is only Emerald Hyperlitz. On outher sides of cables is no difference, only method to see what version of hyperlitz is to remove outher connector oand lookin inside. sound of this firs generation is the best of all emeralds, i have all version.
Ako imaš još pitanja za emeralde, pitaj...doktorirao sam na njima i svim audioquest kabelima

good to know! thanks!

So it seems the only way to know is to buy a tons of Emeralds and remove the connectors to find the right one, otherwise it's not possible to distinguish them. That's not good, I don't have so much money :)
Hvala Jerga. htio sam vidjeti dali ima nekoga da slučajno zna nešto više jer se ta opcija sa kupnjom na slijepo ne isplati

Interesting...i own 2 sets of emeralds from 1993. Although i have largely transitioned over to Transparent Audio Ref XL, i keep both sets in the drawer for future use if i ever need them.

AQ Emerald Hypelitz (first and second generations) is very very good IC, third generation (x3) little worse. First generation is so good becouse its sofisticated construction, similar to Diamond only emerald had 2x6 thinner copper wires, diamond 2x3 silver wires. I replace kimber KCAG with Emerald in my sistem...emerald is thrue winner
