Importance of power cable for Turntable?

Just purchased a Gryphon Diablo 300 integrated with the optional phono stage and DAC module.  I purchased AudioQuest Hurricanes for both the amp and my digital source.  How important would it be to do the same for a high end turntable (which I don’t have just yet)?  Would an AudioQuest Hurricane Source be a good choice for a high end turntable as well? Or is it even needed?  I do notice subtle improvements with my amp and digital source.

Thanks

AC Power cords are direct conduit for *#%! feeding into

your turntable motor. Now most outboard stand alone

belt driver motors have Line filters built in the 5K up+ turntables

Thus the power cord quality may be less of a sonic factor their.

If your turntable uses a inboard ac motor. Ex: TD 124 Vintage

" Humm" radiation picked up by MC cartridge " Mu metal" is a must.

It a must for even say VPI $7K+ tables. Trust me on them.
