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.

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

Zolar, i have AQ Diamond in arrival, and depend of results in my system, is possible that one 0,5 m pair emeralds become free...javi se ako te zanima, ni sam još nisam siguran da li da ga se riješim. Prejak je to kabel

Yeah, maybe. I'll think about it. If I'll sell my LAT IC 300 probably I'll contact you
