I don't know how many of you folks are aware of it, but not all linear regulators are created equal. An ideal regulated power supply should look to the load like an ideal voltage source. That means it should supply any amount of current required to maintain the constant voltage, regardless of what the load is doing or how fast it is doing it. The impedance of the supply should look like 0 Ohms over an infinite bandwidth.
In the real world, the impedance should be very low over at least the audio bandwidth. If you really want to know if a linear supply matters, build one with a "Jung super regulator". It is about as close to ideal as you're going to get. Check google for the circuit. I believe the transporter uses Jung regulators to power the audio circuits.
