yea I contacted the guy a while back, he said he had hit problems at work, and was overpricing DX items (like AMC 7135's for 17.99 (single)) to try and make a bit of cash.... lol, he confirmed, the diodes are the open cans were using

You contacted me 2 days ago and I confirmed no such thing, I get my diodes through my brother who runs a Pioneer authorized business. Yes in one sense they are the same minus the shock, dust exposure and risky business of harvesting, that some newcomers do not wish to attempt. When I ship these at the listed price they come in a 4mm thick acrylic case with the board wired and tested, ready to go. If you buy a dvd burner as a noob, and damage the diode, it will cost you the same to take the risk a second time. Every person who has bought from me have been very happy with their item. The shipping is well accepted by the purchaser when they see the 15 dollars worth of protection that their new toy was shipped in. Take a gander at my feedback, it speaks for its self.[/quote]
