Hi Brian, thanks for the information.
I'm just following what the schematics require and don't know whether the voltage difference make any trouble or not. Though I guess some modules would work well with 15V.
I just feel that live and learn.
Thanks.

> Some of the parts (555, TL082, LM13700) will operate on up to +/-18V so you may not have to use additional regulators to go from 15V to 12V. Check the datasheets to confirm allowable operation range. However, sometimes there may be other elements in the design that were based on a 12V source like a voltage reference; so check the design. Also providing a local regulator may help reduce noise and other nasty things.
