Hey, to each their own. Thank goodness there are a plethora of suppliers out there, but I think I've voiced my opinion of Mithra Canada on here before. Between short-dated needles (a box they wouldn't accept a return on that expired in one month from when I got it), twisted round liners, and countless other needle letdowns, I wouldn't touch them again with a 10 foot cattle prod.

I'm going to end it here so as not to completely derail this thread (though in my experiences, Mithra Canada is getting to be a Chinese junk dealer as well). Then again, that's only my opinion. Other people may have had other experiences.

Just a question...does anyone in here actually make their own needles? I've just never found anyone that makes a needle (consistently) as well as I do, so I've never used premades.

THE MITHRA is a CHINESE company, but based in CALIFORNIA, they produce all the needles in CHINA, like all the needles on the market now, that's all,
all the ORIGINAL NEEDLES CARTRIDGE from HAWK they are made in CHINA too, the T-TECH alaso, they good quality booth, so maybe the factory produce the COPY HAWK CARTRIDGE show on this post is the same produce the original one, maybe they just use some cheaper needles and plastic frame, but not sure
IS IMPOSSIBLE PRODUCE NEEDLES OUTSIDE CHINA, IN A WESTERN COUNTRY, THE PRICE GONNA JUMP UP TO MUCH, maybe in the future they gonna produce in some other ASIAN cheaper counbtry like VIETNAM, CAMBODIA or LAOS, but forget NEEDLES MADE IN USA OR EUROPE...
