I've used emerald (all versions), Lapis X3, and Diamond (X2 only). My favorite is the Lapis--I really have found very little improvement, and in some cases degredation with the diamond. Lapis is neutral, fast, detailed, and well balanced. I have not tried the new AQ line of interconnects yet--so I can't directly answer your question--but $ for $ I think the Lapis is terrific.
Comparing AQ Diamonds to the new AQ interconnects
Hi,
I am looking to upgrade my interconnects. I've been wanting to get a pair of Diamonds X3 for quite some time. But, how do they compare with the newer AQ interconnects such as Viper and Python? I am using original version of Emerald at the moment.
Thanks
