I am a beginner of vinyl cutting, I love record. I want to buy a new lacquer cutter to start my first cutting. I see a lots of topics about vinylium dubcutter in internet, so I want to know about this cutter. does anyone know this company and cutter? whether this company trustable? Here is the website of this company:http://www.vinylium.ch
I have several question about this cutter. If someone could help me, that would be great.

1.About the vinylium dubcutter : If I buy the CHF 9,100 dubplatecutter which show on your website, will I able to start recording my own vinyl record? Do I need to purchase other equipment in order to make the CD or audiofiles (wav, aiff, flac, mp3) into the record? (For beginner).
2.About the stylus : What is the life of stylus ? the faq of vinylium mention about that "for best durability and cuts into vinyllike material please choose the vinylium diammon stylus. you can get saphir stylus at transco (http://www.transcousa.com) model 320 Neumann type or apollo (http://www.apollomasters.com/products.html) type nsh-2s (3 mil tip)." What's the different between the brands? Where could I find a cheaper stylus for durability?
3.About the blank vinyl: the faq of vinylium mention about that "transco (http://www.transcousa.com/lds.html) 10" and 12"apollo (http://www.apollomasters.com) 10" and 12" buy dub quality only: this is exactly what you need." and I ask Transco about the price, but the price was too high for me. the 12 inch dub plate is about 20 USD each. does anyone know where could I find the better price and ok quality dub plates?
4.About Cutting process: Is it easy to learn how to cut? I am a beginner, I totally have no idea about the cutting.
