Audioquest Emerald generation 1

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.
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
