In addition, note that if the load current doesn't vary much, then the voltage is inherently regulated, and a reduction in ripple becomes much more influential.

You can use PSUD2 to assess the influence of inductance and ripple, and small step changes in load current, as a way to give yourself a better insight in to what is happening at the voltage rail.

For many preamp circuits, there is no tangible benefit from regulated versus unregulated circuits, as long as ripple is minor, and even then the circuitry typically attenuates any signal or change in power supply characteristics.
