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.

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.

Good Luck! I have been looking for the original Lapis. Can't seem to find it.

Rrog,

I prefered the original Diamond to Lapis, and today they are probably about the same price. All the smoothness of Emerald, all the detail of Lapis. My 2 cents.

Lloydelee, Back when those interconnects were new I owned both silver Lapis and Diamond, balanced and single ended. I agree, the Diamond interconnect is better. I can't seem to find Diamond either. I even ran a "Wanted" ad with no response.
