Thoughts on Phantom vs Copperhead?

Hi folks,I have a good friend who is considering moving from a Phantom to the Copperhead....

He is a serious LP collector(with a superb system),and obviously likes the superb Phantom alot.I DO too,but he has asked me to get "any" feedback on the comparison,or "consideration of one over the other" that I can....Hence,this post!!...

Btw,the table he has(like myself)is the latest SOTA COSMOS,with a Transfig Orpheus cartridge.His speaker is the Magico Mini,run by high res electronics.

Any thoughts would be welcome..

if anything...but he's probably just fine...a fullrange speaker. the source is a classic.

I think you all ready know what Halcro thinks about the copperhead.

But seriously, can you friend afford to get another SOTA and try them head to head??

Other than that, in several months I might be able to compare both on the same table and share my thoughts.

My friend simply likes to move about from time to time.

I've tried, many times. to "hint" he's basically "done" from a "sonic" standpoint,but now I just "go" with his prediliction to add an "air" of improvement,by spending on new stuff a few times a year.
What can I say?I'm just the messenger! -:)

What about a good sub like the Wilson Benesch or Fathom?

It's nice to see that someone keeps on trying to improve on their system. Some people trade in their cars every year so I see nothing wrong with doing the same with audio equipment. It's their money more power to them.
I like people who have more disposable income than me, it gives me the opportunity to buy their used equipment at a good savings.
If you can afford it go for it.
