I have a love hate relationship with my powergate amp. I have been unsuccessful trying to get the last update to stick. It worked OK previous to this but about 2 or 3 months ago it wanted an update and since I was unable to get that to work I can no longer get it to function properly. I have basically gone to using the BT feature to stream services. It's OK but annoys me since I no longer get Hi-Res. I'll try again in a few days when I'm having a good day, less chance of me throwing it out a window...
It's a solid unit if you can get the updates to work and add a small pair of fans to keep it cool.

Before you throw it out the window, will it be thrown from the first or second story?  And if I catch it can I have it?!  Seriously though, I’d wait to see if Witchdoctor can help before you give up on it.

It's class D. It is supposed to run cool, no?

Any impressions on the Powergate used as a phono pre-amp?

Just an update: Klipsch is selling some factory refurb Powergates on its website for $199.

BTW, the amp does run a little hot so I have it sitting on this fan which is plugged into the USB port on the back of the amp. I have it on the lowest setting, can't hear it at all, and keeps the amp ice cold.

Good idea! I thought class D amps don'r run that hot but I think I'm mistaken. Or is this Klipsch an exception?
