Hi,

I see you've got the IVY & Buffalo III SE kits back in stock right now - I'd love to pick it all up, but the main question I have right now is whether the IVY kit that includes the Placid bipolar supply includes your 15+15 transformer?

Additionally, which heatsinks are present? Ideally I'd like to drive headphones straight off of the IVY setup for a bit, until I decide which balanced amp to build (and own balanced headphones...) Are the 2 inch heat sinks sufficient for this application - from reading the IVY manual it sounds like it's only 150ma per rail, so I assume the smaller ones are fine if they can handle 300+ma?

Thanks!
RA

The transformer is a separate item.

Either heatsink should work. The 2" heatsinks will be a little hotter, but you can control the heat by limiting the current shunted to something reasonable (~50mA).
