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.

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.
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.
