Tubed voltage regulator for KT88se amp, need help ?

Hello,
Last year I built this amp:

http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/tube...8-build-abdellah-diyaudioprojects-design.html

It has been one of my favorites. I have all the parts to build another one but this time I would like to add a regulated (tube) power supply. I have never used regulated supplies on any of my previous builds but have heard praises sang about the benefits of regulated supplies.

I was hoping someone might have a fairly simple, easy to construct design that I could implement in place of the unregulated supply for this design.

I want to use all tubes as I have a lot of real-estate on my chassis.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Ok,
Thanks for the great links. I have read all the info there, I think I have a good understanding of how these different topologies work. Problem is I don't think I am savvy enough to create my own design "de novo". What I am really asking for is a "drop in" regulator circuit/schematic with all the component values figured out for the amp at hand.
Second best would be a schematic close enough that has adjustable features I could "dial in" the proper voltage. Can anyone supply me with a schematic I could use like this on this amp? I already have an identical amp built without the regulated supply. I could build the circuit on a proto board and splice it into my existing amp for test and tweak purposes. Once refined I could build another amp with this circuit installed.
