Hot, no. That goes to the transformer primary along with neutral.
No matter what kind of supply you use, you'll end up needing beefy filter capacitors: if a homebrew supply, to filter ripple; if a wall-wart or cheap supply, because they don't have much filtering if any inside there. I used a pair of 2000-mike electrolytics to provide 4000 mikes , and that should be pretty fair. That's just a plain linear supply: transformer, diode bridge, capacitor, and that's usually pretty good; but I threw the 317 on the end to clean it up even more.
