My friends, did we already established that regulation is actually required? A good opamp has quite good PSRR, so regulation might not be even needed.

Probably, regulation itself is not even needed. What needed is something to remove ripple. So, consider a capacitor multiplier as a regulator: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitance_multiplier . Or may be just a simple RC-filter (just don't make R too big).

Yep, see my post on the previous page...

It was cheap and does the job. I attached a female DC barrel plug extender to the Vin / GND and use a plain center positive 12v dc supply. Negative and positive voltage could be a little better matched (getting something like -14.75 and +14.9) but for the price it does the job.

I did not feel comfortable making a rail divider on this amp so i got that while i await delivery of a pcb to build a bipolar psu.

Nice find! I see that its a switched inductor topology.  How did you filter out the noise that thing is putting out?
Currently I've opted for a switched capacitor charge pump  for generating the -ve supply rail.

So why are you bothering with a voltage regulator at all?

9V (Or even +-9V, so 18V is well within the ratings of most sane audio opamps (+-15 to 18V is what most pro gear goes for), so adding a regulator will just cost you precious supply voltage and headroom, run off the raw rail (well decoupled!).

The reason for me going for regulators, what the adaptor which I was getting the supply from is a switching type, and my thinking was the regulators would attenuate the switching noise, and provide a cleaner source of power for the audio analog circuitry.

If so, a linear voltage regulator is very wasteful.

And one of the primary reasons to use a regulator, ripple reduction, is not required with batteries.

No its not a battery, its a 9V adapter.
