the 5.1 uses a tube power supply which does tend to sweeten the sound over a normal SS rectified tube power supply as in the 3.1. it also has a great phono section. i never listened to the 3.1 in comparison, but i did own a 5.1 and liked it very much. At about $4-600 (stock/used and in good condition) it is a relative bargain.
keep in mind, if you get it modified, that will be expensive.
