Aux Audio power supply

In most Japanese audio amplifiers exist fairly simple secondary power supply for phono stages and preamps .

---The basic one transistor with a network of resistors to define base control and output voltage no stabilization , but stable enough for the specific load

---Variation of the above including slow turn on capacitor

---then a zener controlled transistor as is, or with slow turn on circuit

---then you have variations that include slow turn on but with feedback from the output or other stages to preserve stability and often safety measures like case of overvoltage ( like transistor is shorted ) and so on

Would one care to comment or summarize the choice in terms of noise or in general why like this and not like that ???

Farther more would a regulator of the known families78xx 317-337 will work better or worst in such an application ???

Kind regards
Sakis
