I bought J162 and K1058 pairs from Hong Kong seller on ebay.($17 for 4) They blew up on 30v rail. They supposed by Renesas product, but it dose not bear any marking of such. I was replacing shorted Hitachi parts. The channel is working with transplanted Hitachi pair from other channel. I also bought 15000uf 100v filter caps on ebay from FL seller, it passes too much ripple on 80v rail resulting too much ripple humm. This cap supposed to be new and price $16/pc. I am using my salvaged 10000uf caps for now with better ripple noise control.
I guess I learned lesson on the hard way. But it was too good a price to pass on them.

Hi birdyman, sorry to hear that. 🙁
I was thinking buying some Renesas' from eBay, but not sure now. Could you tell us which eBay seller?

It's a pretty risky proposition buying electrolytic caps and many semiconductors on eBay. I think it is preferable if admittedly more expensive to go to an authorized reseller.
There are a lot of counterfeit parts on eBay.
