Depending on Preamp actual consumption (3.5mA per TL072 class Op Amps, about 8 mA for 5532 class) you may easily get your +/-15V from available rails (nominal +/-25V), easy peasy with 2 resistors, 2 zeners, 2 100uF caps.
No need for extra transformers, windings or regulators.

Well, in india local custom transformer makers keeps that in mind (Main line tolerance).....& i never faced such worse scenario in my entire DIY life.After Electricity Board changed cables in my area, I checked voltages whole day and they vary from ~197v to 230v. BUT 90% of time hover around 210v. Transformer winders need to know input voltages and it is 230V standard here. So for 230 V and 18-0-18v mostly I will be getting 15-0-15v at my....

Please dont confuse. I am not doubting transformer winders. The post was about giving winders general specifications so I get desired transformer voltages at my home.Well, in india local custom transformer makers keeps that in mind (Main line tolerance).....& i never faced such worse scenario in my entire DIY life.

Yes. The tone amp board as shown previously has rectifier, filter and regulator on board and from dual +/- voltages I will supply single rail to phono board too. But since I am custom winding I have option to have separate winding for Tone board+phono board on same transformer. Since I dont have data about Phono Preamp IC (AN360) maximum voltages. I will go by Spec sheet which came with phono module (0-12V DC). So separate lower voltage than (amplifier's 15-0-15ac) will be safe I think.Depending on Preamp actual consumption (3.5mA per TL072 class Op Amps, about 8 mA for 5532 class) you may easily get your +/-15V from available rails (nominal +/-25V), easy peasy with 2 resistors, 2 zeners, 2 100uF caps.

Where i live (near kolkata) the variation in main voltage is quite consistent, most of the time 200~230. The primary windings of my all custom made transformer is rated at 220VAC & i never faced any problem so far. The variation in secondary voltage is next to nothing
(+/-0.5v-1V MAX).
(+/-0.5v-1V MAX).
Use 7812 regulator if you feel voltage will be an issue, input about 15 VDC.
