Say one were to use a power regenerator at a frequency of 5000 Hz with the average "hi-fi" gear, any concerns? (Other than to power frequency based devices such as most tt motors...)I use a Multiwave P300 at zany, wacky, crazy freq's with no apparent adverse effects...
(New toy coming soon..)
If into an offline switcher you may see no downside effect. Into a conventional transformer coupled linear design you will probably see more heating in the transformer due to hysteresis losses in the magnetic core material.You may (this is a tougher one to predict) also push the diode bridge temperature higher IF the switching losses start to be more significant than the forward conduction power losses. The minor electrical noise produced by the diodes turning on and off will have a fundamental at 10 Khz now which may be more audible than when it was at 120 Hz.
