  We propose a new kind of supersymmetric (SUSY) transformation in the case of
the two-channel scattering problem with equal thresholds, for partial waves of
the same parity. This two-fold transformation is based on two imaginary
factorization energies with opposite signs and with mutually conjugated
factorization solutions. We call it an eigenphase preserving SUSY
transformation as it relates two Hamiltonians, the scattering matrices of which
have identical eigenphase shifts. In contrast to known phase-equivalent
transformations, the mixing parameter is modified by the eigenphase preserving
transformation.
