Cutting dubplates from mp3 sources

Flo Kaufmann from Vinylum GmbH told me about his dubcutter some two years ago [1]. The dub cutter allows individual on demand cutting of dub plates. The mechanic is an add-on to the Technics SP 1200/1210 turntables [2].
Flo also used to run one the last vinyl pressing plants around. As he mentions on his site, they shut it down due to lacking human resources and he will concentrate his engeneering forces on a galvanic and processing place for acetate masters together with central dubs in Bern [3] to produce swiss made vinyl in future.
