Phono preamp power cable not long enough. New wall wart or use an extension cord?

My power cord for the wall wart of my phono preamp isn't long enough to reach my power conditioner. What is the best solution to fix this issue? Should I look for an aftermarket wall wart or use an extension cord? If extension cord, does the quality matter? Or will a cheap brown extension cord be find? If I should search for a new adapter, where can I find a high quality one that won't have any negative effects on sound quality. I appreciate any advice.

I would use an extension cord, as far as quality of the cord, I doubt it will matter. Any AC current prior to voltage reduction with in the wall wart would not have an impact on the quality of the DC output.

not a scientist or electrician, just my logic.

It may be worth trying. See if they would allow you to make a return in case you don't hear an improvement. Interesting, I had never seen those before.
