Audiolabyrinth,
Yes. Mr McKeagan likely refers on significantly beefier power suppply at Phantom (bigger, now 290VA transformer plus 41600 microfarads filter capacitance vs 170VA/39600 at Evo-202)).
The reason why SH prices reach far higher point in case of Phantom may be just reflection of unit's age... Phantoms are presumably say 3-4 years less old than average Evo-202. Besides, new Phantom was 17500, while Evo-202 was 15000 (likely due to extra power supply). Plus, don't neglect possibility of active crossover onboard (implemented by Krell on demand, at additional 2500 charge) in Phantoms...
In such a case, go for Evo-202. 5k difference is far from insignificant money today.
