General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

They are there nevertheless.

A linear audio amplifier includes a push-pull pair of vacuum tubes operating in a linear amplification mode coupled through a pair of dc-dc switching power converters to an external load impedance. Each power converter includes a transformer with one or more secondary windings that drive rectifier circuits, and the resultant dc voltage sources are loaded by their respective tubes.... The effective turns ratio between primary and secondary windings of these converter transformers determine the voltage/current step-up/step-down relationships between the tubes and the external load impedance.

I've added the emphasis. This is from the introduction to David's patent.

The 'ZOTL' acronym was created by Harvey Rosenburg and has no actual meaning by his own admission.
