Are you converting to big black empty boxes, Ira?

I saw the thread where Alf was wanting to trade his 975, but no comparison.

I believe the 975 probably has a little more bass than the 931 because of the bigger case... Other than that, I highly doubt that there's any big improvement in sound - even with 5 extra EQ bands.

...the 975 hits harder but the 931 seems to be a bit louder...sound doesn't seem very clean out of either unit, but it could be the video.

i think it was mostly cosmectly the differance it really looks like almost the same longer box to bring down the top deck added the extra eq buttons plus a few other things just to complement a different look 
but more than sure that the amp section is the same the speakers is too sound would be a bit different because of the eq setup but power wise i do not belive there is any real change

WOW! Did I tune in late to this thread or WHAT?!?! HAHA!!!
Actually the big difference is build quality. I know that "Q" word isn't used often to describe these beasts but bear with me. The 931 (at least this 1st version) is not bad by any stretch. The cassete and battery doors close tightly and it has very minimal creaking. It seems to handle the sound and vibration very well. That's really where the difference is. The 975 would rattle a bunch. The cassette doors are quite thin and floppy in comparison. I feel that the 975 does in fact produce more bass, but it does so to it's determent. Although the pretty white 8 inchers are quite robust it seems as if the loudness control on the 975 pushed the signal beyond it's limit and the sound becomes sloppy. The 931 on the other hand is always tight and clear. There is NO lack of bass in the 931, it actually sounds magical!!

Interesting Alf, my 975 didn't rattle at all and I felt no difference in quality. Since I don't have them any more I can't go back and check so I'm only going on memory, there very well could be a difference and I just never really noticed.
