Matt,
I asked VMI about a max. Frequency, they said 70kHz.
At the time, I was obsessed with the idea of making a supply at 100kHz, like a Spellman I once had access to, so I decided to go with the chinese diodes, and lower the frequency accordingly.
There are issues with the magnetics, which point in the same direction, and in the end, I just wanted something that could run cool enough without oil, so I ended at 33kHz as a good compromize.

Cheers, Finn Hammer
