Exciting news from CHC Towers! We are releasing not one, but two new PSU products! Enter the Mini ARC6 DC4 PSU and the DC4 Lite PSU - we've listened to our clients, taken their feedback on board and come up with some great new PSU configurations to fill the gaps in our existing product line-up. We can now offer DC4 technology at a significantly reduced price! The Mini ARC6 DC4 is essentially an ARC6 DC4 in a smaller case with a few minor simplifications, and the DC4 Lite is a dual-output PSU that is a hybrid of our DC3 and DC4 architectures.

A note for any of our international clients based in North America or in the EU - Custom HiFi Cables' DC3 and DC4 PSUs (and some other selected PSUs) can be manufactured by one of our partners based in the US and the EU, this has several advantages for you - being able to pay in your local currency instead of converting to GBP, no import tax, no potential customs issues... you get your PSU cheaper and quicker! Another advantage is that your waiting time will typically be shorter than placing an order with us here in the UK - CHC UK's waiting list is currently short but it's expected to grow quickly quite soon. If you'd like to place an order for a PSU, then please just email us as usual at custom.hifi.cables@gmail.com and let us know which country you're in, which PSU you're interested in etc and we can take your enquiry forward from there.

We are shocked and saddened by the ongoing abhorrent and senseless war in Ukraine. Millions of Ukrainians now face unimaginable tragedies as their sense of peace and security is challenged. The most vulnerable victims of this war are the children, therefore we decided to support a cause that helps children with cancer in the Ukrainian war zone.
5% of our total turnover during April will be donated to the Tabletochki Charity Foundation.
Needless to say we unequivocally condemn the Russian government's actions against the Ukrainian people, and to this end we have stopped trading with clients within Russia indefinitely.

As of November 2019, the reputation of Custom HiFi Cables Ltd. has grown to a point where demand for my products is constantly high. As most of you know, I build everything myself to custom order, and as a small UK business I also wish to remain below the VAT registration threshold, which also limits me in terms of the value of orders I can take each year (although believe me, this threshold is high enough to keep me very busy almost all of the time!). As word of my work and my reputation has spread throughout the industry and around the world, I now find myself at a crossroads - do I expand the business, buy/let some larger premises and employ several staff to help me meet the demand, and take on all the risk and stress that this entails, or do I stay as I am and limit the orders that I can take? There is a third option that I am hoping can one day come to fruition though...
As many of you know, I work in partnership with Innuos, who build the superb Zen, Zenith and Statement music servers, which have all been incredibly highly praised by the hifi press. I design the PSUs for all Innuos equipment, which has given a significant boost in the audio performance of their servers and also to their sales figures. It's an incredibly mutually beneficial relationship and am interested in working with several other hifi companies in the future in a similar manner, whereby I supply my PSU designs under licence and the manufacturer can then build and distribute their upgraded products, thereby allowing my designs to reach many more clients.
If you represent a hifi manufacturer who may be interested in working with me, then please do get in touch and I would be very happy to discuss a potential working relationship.

Welcome to the online home of Custom Hifi Cables Ltd. Recent news items are announced on this front page, for our product pages you can navigate using the left-hand menus.
We offer a very reasonable 5 year warranty on all of our products, because we're so confident in the high quality of our construction and design.
All of our DC3 and Naim PSUs use version 2.1 of our fabled CHC-REG regulator modules. Clients claim that these PSUs outperform the equivalent DR-specification PSUs from Naim and other manufacturers, so contact us today to ask for more details or a demo.
We offer a comprehensive Naim Audio Servicing and Upgrades service, for almost all of your Naim Audio servicing needs. We will also willingly upgrade the equipment above and beyond its original specification to further improve its performance, if desired. We also offer a complete range of replacement Naim PSUs, which offer significant upgrade for a fraction of the price of even a second-hand Naim PSU (which would come with no warranty of course and would need a service anyway).
