Audioquest Emerald generation 1

Hello everyone!
I'm new here and this is my first thread.
Does anyone know the difference in appearance between the AQ Emerald that came first on the market and the other Emeralds that came after it? Apparently the first one sounds the best, but if I would like to buy me one on the internet I cannot distinguish the right one I'm looking for.
Thanks.

Hi Zolar...cannot help you on that. Except to say i own the original Emerald from 1992...and i have kept it all these years, despite having upgraded my system to Transparent Ref XL MM2...that hopefully should say something. Incredibly natural, a bit warm and fuzzy compared to today's latest...but exceptionally well balanced. And for the money? A steal. Good luck. my two cents.

Thanks Lloydelee21.
It is saying something indeed. As soon as I sell my LAT the Emerald is my next goal. I hope I'll find that original one though. Usually those who are selling them don't know which one they have so it is a little complicated to find the right one. It is even hard (impossible?) to recognize it from the pictures on the adverts.
