I'll sure try it out! I guess in the weekend if I manage to find the time (if time is money, I'm a very poor man...).
I guess the closer you put a regulator to an IC input the better. I see you also put a hefty capacitor on the output too, always a good idea! An 100nF ceramic right on the input pin would be nice too since these LDO regulators require very low impedance sources to regulate properly. Despite its horrendous power efficiency, a simple linear like the 78XX is more immune to this and only require a good amount of capacitance if they are very far from the targets.
